Specialist Pathways

• Depend on choosing right options at L2 and L3
• Students must get gt40 of degree classification
  from modules in their specialism
• But always have the option of taking a standard
  Business Management degree
• Recommended to change pathways at start of L3
• So DipHE students cant register for a specialism
• Though they can choose L2 modules to qualify when
  they get through to L3

9
Combined Honours

  of your choice
• Equal in first year, then choose
• Joint Equal taught modules over levels 2 3

  quantitative/qualitative research skills

Philosophy of CHP

• Cover Business Management benchmarks (except
  for subsidiary students)
• In less depth than in Single Honours,and
  slightly less breadth
• Key modules on techniques common to both
• Other first year modules have merged versions
  for CHP
• Same compulsory modules at levels 2 and 3
• Fewer options available

Tourism and Heritage Management (THM)

• New suite validated in 2004
• Too late for inclusion in publicity (or 2005
  prospectus)
• Programmes have just begun with low numbers
• CHP with Business treated as special case
• Three programmes (CHP field and single honours)
• Tourism and Heritage Management
• Tourism Management
• Heritage Management
• Common first year for all three programmes
• Students can then make informed decision to
  specialize in TH or HM

16
Observations on THM

• Tourism degrees are oversupplied in England
• Winchesters unique selling feature is heritage
• Most past THM students become enthusiastic about
  heritage and do a Heritage FYP
• But Heritage is not seen as sexy in schools
• Named Tourism Management programme may help
  recruitment

17
Business and THM in CHP

• Two Management disciplines
• Previous THM field had modules common with
  Business Management
• This combination had to be special-cased to
  avoid students taking common modules twice
• Special cases were ad hoc and not designed in
• 2004 validation defined Single Hons pathways to
  replace combinations with Business Mgt field
• Business Mgt with THM
• Business Mgt with TM
• Business Mgt with HM

Not comparable with specialist pathways on
Business Management
18
Leisure Management

• Separately validated programmes
• CHP produced first graduates 2004
• First single honours cohort to graduate in 2005
• Same problem with overlapping modules when field
  taken alongside Business Management
• Ad hoc solution still in place
• Ripe for integration with the THM suite
• Hard to distinguish Tourism from Leisure
  except that tourists stay the night!
• No revalidation before 2005-06 though

19
Basingstoke BAMBA

• Top-up from HND (or HNCAPEL)
• Part-time BA in a two calendar years
• Different Bridging module from Winchester to
  match the demographics (older, in careers)
• plus 6 level three modules, and a final year
  project
• Entry typically involves building portfolio of
  prior experience
• Accelerated progress possible by taking modules
  in Winchester
