In the UK, and Bath system, 60s and 70s are GOOD marks. The philosophy and approach to education in British universities is very different from the U.S. system. British students specialize in a specific subject or two rather than study a wide range of subjects as in the U.S. university system. In the British system, a greater emphasis is placed on independent study. Very often there is not a detailed schedule and syllabus, as one would expect in the U.S. system, but rather a reading list from which it becomes the student's responsibility to choose what to read.
Assessment differs depending on the course.
It may range from one essay with a final exam to 3 essays and 2 exams. UR exchange students may enroll in courses at the School of Management. Dr. Pfaff has a list of courses available in business. If students wish to take courses outside of the School of Management, this should be arranged, if possible, through Dr. Butt Philip at the Univ. of Bath. The normal courseload is 5 courses in total for the spring and summer terms.
