Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome to the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics at the National University of Ireland, Galway. We aim to provide you with a stimulating and memorable educational experience in the key discipline areas of business and economics. You will graduate from here with an internationally recognised qualification, from an institution with an incredibly high graduate employment rate.

Our School has built a reputation for teaching and research excellence. Our staff are friendly and approachable, so don’t hesitate to contact us in search of answers. This year, as we all deal with Covid-19, much of our interaction will need to be online. Nevertheless, we aim to ensure that each of you has the support and encouragement that you need to achieve your full potential. I hope that you will enjoy your time with us. Together we will overcome the restrictions of the current pandemic, and you will be well-qualified at the end of your academic journey with us.

Your first few weeks here is a time of many transitions. This year, in particular, will feel strange. We recognise that getting started on the right foot is important to the quality of your university experience. We will endeavour to assist you to make the transition to university life as easy as possible. Apart from our normal activities, we have several new initiatives to help you settle into university and into life as a business student at NUI Galway. You will hear more details about these initiatives during orientation (Wednesday 23rd September 2020) and through your academic interactions from 28th September on.

These modules are constantly revised, are demanding and will challenge you to develop a range of skills and abilities including the ability to think critically and independently while you are here at the School of Business & Economics. In addition to providing for your academic development, the University recognises that undergraduate students are interested in personal growth and development during their period of study. There are a range of activities that you can get involved in during your B. Comm. programme years. You will spend three/four years with us and it is important that you leave as a person who has grown not only in knowledge but in confidence, interests, skills and abilities. Whilst you will acquire a range of transferable skills on our modules on the B. Comm. there are an array of opportunities for you to engage in where you will make new friends and develop your interests and skills. These will be outlined to you at the various advisory and orientation sessions in the first week of the programme.

Don’t miss any of these sessions as they are a vital source of information on how you can ensure that you leave here a successful commerce graduate.

Déanfar na mic léinn a chumasú i rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge freisin, i gcomhréir agus i ndeilbhíocht na teanga, agus i gceartúsáid na teanga. Déanfar an cruinneas a threisiú trí mheán na scríbhneoireachta ag díriú go sonrach ar théarmaíocht agus ar shainfhoclóir an ghnó.

Gaeilge & Scileanna Cumarsáide 2 (GA192)Sa mhodúl seo déanfar buanú ar eolas na mac léinn ar rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge, ar chomhréir agus ar dheilbhíocht na teanga, agus ar cheartúsáid na teanga sa scríobh agus sa labhairt. Bainfear úsáid as na foinsí agus na huirlisí teanga agus téarmaíochta is tábhachtaí a theastaíonn chun téacsanna scríofa a ullmhú, ag úsáid théarmaíocht an ghnó mar is cuí.

Déanfar buanú freisin ar chumas na mac léinn sainteanga an ghnó a úsáid, agus cuirfear lena muinín an sainteanga sin a úsáid go muiníneach agus iad ag labhairt na Gaeilge. Déanfar plé cuimsitheach ar cheisteanna a bhaineann le réimse an ghnó agus na tráchtála. I measc na dtéamaí a phléifear beidh Fógraí agus Margaíochta, Cúrsaí Fiontraíochta agus Eacnamaíocht na hÉireann.

8. Regulations for First Year

8.1 Requirements to PassThe First University Examination in Commerce must be passed within two academic yearsfrom the date of entering the course, except that students who are permitted to transfer to First Commerce, having failed in another College, must pass the First University Examination in Commerce within one academic year of entering the Course.



8.2 LanguageAfter First Year, language is available only in the B. Comm. (International) and B. Comm. (Gaeilge) programmes. However, a limited number of B. Comm. students who pass the First Year examination in German, Gaeilge or Spanish, at a minimum mark of 40% may be permitted to transfer into the Second Year of the B. Comm. International programme (provided the First Commerce examination is passed overall). In the event of demand exceeding the number of available places, selection will be based on performance in the language at the First Commerce examination. Decisions on initial selection and on transfer will be made by the Disciplines of German, Gaeilge and Spanish in conjunction with staff in the School of Business & Economics.

8.3 ProgressionUndergraduate degree programmes at the University are normally organized into Stages.Students must successfully complete each stage before progressing to a subsequent one. Full-time Undergraduate Degree Programmes will be organised on an academic year basis, where each year represents a defined Stage. Full-time undergraduate students will be required to register for and present for examination in a set of modules to a total credit weighting of 60 ECTS.

8.4 PassingThe pass mark on all modules is 40%.

The Business Society

BizSoc aims to get more students in the university thinking about business by opening their mind to new ideas and opportunities. It helps students who want to get involved in any form of business in the future by allowing students with similar interests to mix with each other, organisehigh profile events and to hear and learn from successful people outside of the lecture hall.It is also one of the best social societies in NUI Galway. The main events hosted by the Business Society are trips away in Ireland, speaker engagements with well known business people, an international trip, and of course the occasion of the year: The NUI Galway Commerce Ball.The society is proudly sponsored by the Big 4 accounting firm KPMG, and Electric Garden and Theatre.The more people involved in the society the better for everyone. You can get involved at committee or class rep level, or take part by simply attending and enjoying our events. Follow us on Instagram @bizsocnuig and Facebook “NUIG BizSoc” for updates on our events or email [email protected]

8.5 Carrying Forward MarksA student will be given credit for modules passed and will not have to re-present for examination in any module in which a minimum mark of 40% has been returned within the time-limit set out in regulations for the successful completion of the particular stage. The normal time-limit for carrying forward of marks to subsequent examination sessions is 2 academic years.

8.6 Compensation ProvisionThe pass standard for a Module is 40%. However a student with marks of less than 40% in one or more modules will be deemed to have passed the Stage provided:• the average mark for all modules of the Stage is at least 40%• the mark in every module is 35% or more• the module(s) with marks in the range 35-39% total 15 ECTS or less.Note 1: Where one or more of these conditions have not been met each module where the mark is below 40% must be repeated. Marks of 40% and above are carried forward to the next session and are not repeatable.Note 2: B. Comm International students cannot compensate the language. This applies to all years of the B. Comm International programme.

8.7 Capping of Repeat ExaminationsCapping, where the maximum mark which may be awarded at a repeat examination of a module will be the pass mark of 40%, does not apply in first year but does apply in all subsequent years.

8.8 Award of Honours for Degree ExaminationsAt degree level, honours will be calculated on the basis of 30% of the aggregate mark obtained at the second stage (second year) Examination and 70% of the aggregate mark obtained at the final stage (final year) Examination. The standard will be based upon the following table:H1 70% on the aggregateH2.1 60% on the aggregateH2.2 50% on the aggregateH3 40% on the aggregate

9. Bachelor of Commerce (Global Experience) Year B. Comm. students can apply to extend their studies by an additional year after they have completed

second year. The additional ‘Global Experience’ year provides students with an opportunity to undertake a semester long work placement/internship in Ireland plus a semester of study in North America, Europe, Hong Kong or Australia subject to availability. Alternatively students can choose to spend the full academic year studying abroad or on work placement. Please note that entry to the B. Comm. (Global Experience) year is competitive, based on academic merit, with only a limited number of places offered.



10. General InformationWe encourage you to get involved in some of the many clubs and societies located on campus and in particular we strongly encourage you to partake in the NUI Galway volunteering programme ALIVE. Check out cki.nuigalway.ie/alive/ for more details. In the Business School we provide for your academic development over the course of your programme. Elsewhere in the university there are opportunities for you to engage in activities to aid your personal development and growth.

10.1 Necessity of lecture and tutorial attendanceStudents are required to follow a course of study by attendance and participation at lectures and other platforms as timetabled and where advised by programme directors. There is clear evidence to show that success in examinations is linked to attendance and active participation. Independent study is also required using online library resources.

10.2 Study Abroad, Internships and other Opportunities in Future Years of the ProgrammeWhere it is not a compulsory part of a student’s degree, selection for study abroad, internships and other opportunities will be based on academic merit. Selection will, in many cases, depend on the student’s performance in the first year university examinations. Selection for teams to represent the Business School and university will also be partly based on academic merit. First year university results are frequently a consideration.

10.3 Registration for optional first year moduleOnline Registration opens on Sept 16th. You cannot register before this date.You will receive an email from registration a few days before Online Registration opens inviting you to register online. For further information refer to http://www.nuigalway.ie/registration/

10.4 BlackboardBlackboard is the NUI Galway virtual learning environment. On Blackboard you will find information for each of your modules. These modules are maintained by the lecturers and are the primary recourse for lecture notes and materials. Notes and module materials available on Blackboard are not a substitute for lecture attendance.

10.5 PlagiarismPlagiarism is taking the credit for someone else’s ideas, and making out that you thought of these ideas yourself. This is a form of intellectual theft. In third level colleges, plagiarism is a serious offence. It merits a severe penalty. In some colleges, the student loses the entire marks for that assignment. In other colleges, the student is brought before a disciplinary committee. You need to be aware of how serious an offence plagiarism is, and take care to avoid it in your assignments, and particularly in a thesis. The J. E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics has a plagiarism advisor, Anatoli Nachev, who is responsible for dealing with suspected and reported cases of plagiarism and acting in accordance with the University’s Code of Practice for Dealing with Plagiarism. Please see

http://www.nuigalway.ie/plagiarism for further details.

10.6 Code of ConductPlease be advised that as a student of NUI Galway you are required to abide by the NUI Galway Code of Conduct. The code of conduct applies to all university related activities whether located on or off campus. You can familiarise yourself with the code of conduct on www.nuigalway.ie/codeofconduct

10.7 Withdrawing from the programmeIf at any stage you decide to withdraw from your course, you may do so by filling in an online withdrawal form which can be accessed at http://www.nuigalway.ie/student-registry-helpdesk/our-services/coursewithdrawal/ However, before making this decision, we strongly recommend that you speak to School Office staff or your Programme Director. Please see School Office details under “Useful Contacts” on Page XX. Final deadline for receipt of applications to withdraw is the 1st of March 2021 in the academics year in which you are registered.

10.8 General University AdvisoryThere are several sources of advice that will be available throughout your time at NUI, Galway. Some students may find the transition from school to University unsettling; it can be lonely at times and hard to be away from home. Don’t feel you need to keep these problems to yourself. Talk to someone about them. Often the best source of advice can be from fellow students. The Students Union at NUI Galway are very active in assisting students in getting the most out of college life and we encourage you to become familiar with your union. You will find a wealth of useful information on www.su.nuigalway.ie and if you want to know what’s really happening on campus be sure to click on the SIN link.
