Standing Panel RecordAppendix 4<strong>HND</strong> <strong>Business</strong>Revised Structure as per recommendations from Standing Panel MeetingStructureAfter discussion with the award team, it has been agreed that in year 1, the Quantitative Techniques module willrun year-long alongside the Personal Development Spine. This module has been chosen as students, on thewhole, find the numerical aspects <strong>of</strong> the programme difficult, and this will give students longer elapsed time toassimilate the knowledge and techniques.In Year 2, the <strong>Business</strong> Strategy module will run year-long alongside the Personal development spine. This willenable students to develop their strategic thinking over a longer period <strong>of</strong> time.In making these changes, the award now has equal workload in both semesters in both years.
