The Student Charter has been developed by the University and the Students’ Union so that
students gain the maximum from their UCLan experience. It is a two-way commitment or
‘contract’ between the University and each individual student. It acts as a means of establishing
in black and white what students can expect from the University and the Union in terms of

1. Introduction to the course
1.1 Welcome
Welcome to the School of Journalism. Language and Communication - one of the leading centres
for journalism education in the UK. Our reputation rests on our commitment to providing practical
and vocational courses in journalism, underpinned by the theoretical and conceptual aspects
relevant to these disciplines.
The School is recognised nationally and internationally as a centre of excellence in its field. We
have been teaching journalism in Preston for more than 50 years. Our graduates are spread across
the media industry. They regularly return to the university to give guest lectures and masterclasses.
They also help us to secure industry placements and inform our curriculum.
We have alumni who have carved out careers in entertainment journalism such as Jacqui
Meddings, Entertainments Director at Cosmopolitan magazine and Andy Halls who works for The
Sun’s Showbiz desk. The BA (Hons) Music Journalism programme aims to build on this reputation.
You will receive a solid grounding in multimedia journalism skills. You will also learn about the legal
and ethical constraints journalists operate under. You will also learn about the history of popular
music, its effect on cultural and sociological development and the development of the music media,
giving you the knowledge and understanding you will need to operate as a music journalist.
In recent years advances in technology have changed the face of journalism. The challenges faced
by the professional, digital journalist are enormous. Today’s journalist is multi-skilled, producing
news in a variety of formats for a range of platforms. We endeavour, through our teaching and
research, to equip you with the skills and knowledge to meet these challenges and to enhance
your employability within the profession. Ethical, professional behaviour is at the heart of our
teaching.
Cutting edge research in our Media Innovation Studio (MIS) has led to collaborative projects with
the BBC and organisations such as Trinity Mirror, Northwest Vision and Media, Skillset, and the
North West Development Agency.
Journalism programmes at UCLan have an excellent reputation for employability. This course will
prepare you for a career in journalism, however, the degree does not by itself guarantee a job in
the field. It is important that you not only work hard and attend all teaching sessions, but also take
advantage of the many extra-curricular opportunities available at UCLan to develop your skills and
enhance your employability. Get involved in student media; attend our prestigious guest lectures;
take advantage of our bursaries for international projects; study abroad; enjoy prestigious work
placements. UCLan is proud of the journalists it has nurtured over the past 50 years. We hope you
enjoy your time with us and make the most of the opportunities we offer.
Course Aims
The BA (Hons) Music Journalism programme aims:
To produce fully-trained multimedia journalists equipped with the skills needed for entry-level
employment in journalism, the media/creative industries and other allied careers.
To equip students with specialist knowledge and understanding of popular music in order to
enable them to operate as journalists in this area.
To develop journalism practitioners who are independent thinkers and doers and to
encourage the development of critical thinking, reasoning and research skills through

practice and to encourage students to reflect critically on their own decisions as journalists.
To provide a learning environment for personal development and growth both as an
individual and as a contributor to a team.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, this is what we expect you to have learned as a result of the teaching you

Each student has a member of staff designated as their Academic Advisor. In the first and second
years this will be any one of the teaching staff. In the third year it will be your route leader. The
role of the Academic Advisor is not to deal with assignment issues - this is a matter for your module
tutor and should be raised at an appropriate seminar session. The Academic Advisors provide
general academic advice and pastoral care, including dealing with problems that may affect your
work. Think of your Academic Advisor as a ‘wise friend’, someone who knows the university and
its academic regulations, and to whom you can turn for advice. It may not be appropriate for your
Academic Advisor to deal with specific personal problems - counselling is a job best left to Student
Services or the Health Centre - but they should be able to direct you to an appropriate source of
advice. First year students will normally be contacted by their Academic Advisor within the first
few weeks and invited for a meeting. If you do not hear from your Academic Advisor within the first
month, please contact the Administration Hub (see section 1.5 for contact details).
Campus Admin Services provides academic administration support for students and staff and are
located at CM235 and is open from 8.45am until 5.15pm Monday to Thursday and until 4.00pm on
Fridays. The hub can provide general assistance and advice regarding specific processes such as
extenuating circumstances, extensions and appeals. Course specific information is also available
via school Blackboard sites.
The hub telephone number for the C&T Hub is 01772 891994 & 01772 891995.
The hub email contact is CandTHub@uclan.ac.uk
1.6 Communication
It is important to keep in touch. Beyond lectures and seminars, your tutors will contact you via the
university’s Outlook e-mail system or via the UCLan eLearn/Blackboard site. E-mail/eLearn are
now the first point of contact about timetable changes, tutorial times, news of guest speakers and
job vacancies. It is vital that you check your e-mail/ eLearn every day during term time and at least
once a week, via webmail or remote access in non-teaching weeks. It is particularly important that
you check your e-mails/eLearn after results day in June and September. If you send us email
messages from other addresses they risk being filtered out as potential spam and discarded
unread.
You will also find information on the journalism notice boards, both electronic and physical. Please
check these regularly, particularly at the beginning of term. The notice boards for all years are
outside the radio studios (near GR078) on the ground floor of the Greenbank Building. Some tutors
will also contact you via Facebook and Twitter on occasion.
Tutors do not operate a drop-in system but you can make appointments to see a tutor by booking
a surgery time on notices posted on your tutor’s office door. Tutors can also be contacted by email.
Tutors will try to answer emails within 24 hours. However, there may be occasions when a tutor is
away from university or engaged in research and in these circumstances, email responses may
take a little longer.
The University has appointed an External Examiner to your course who helps to ensure that the
standards of your course are comparable to those provided at other higher education institutions
in the UK. The name of this person, their position and home institution can be found below. If you
wish to make contact with your External Examiner, you should do this through your Course Leader
and not directly. External Examiner reports will be made available to you electronically. The
School will also send a sample of student coursework to the external examiner(s) for external
moderation purposes, once it has been marked and internally moderated by the course tutors. The
sample will include work awarded the highest and lowest marks and awarded marks in the middle
range.
Although this is a vocational degree it is important that you appreciate it is considerably more than a
simple ‘how-to-do-it’ training course. You are expected to learn the practical skills of journalism whilst
reflecting on the organisational, social, cultural, political and economic contexts of journalism. This is
more simply summed up by one of the department’s key aims: to produce reflective practitioners.
The journalism syllabus includes practical elements, such as news judgement, news sources, and
reporting, writing skills, using social media for newsgathering, interviewing, print, radio, TV and online
production techniques. Journalism support subjects include shorthand, media law and public
administration. Consideration of the development of popular music, its impact on cultural and
sociological development underpins the practical elements of the course. This means that you will
undertake a varied pattern of study and learning.
At any one time you may be operating as a student journalist, producing news in realistic newsroom
conditions, while also examining and considering academic approaches to music in a seminar
environment.
Your course is divided into Stages One and Two. Stage One covers your first year and comprises six
compulsory modules. Stage Two covers the remaining two years and comprises ten compulsory
modules and two optional modules.
Year one is at an introductory level and lays out the basic concepts, methods and contexts of
journalism practice and journalism study.
Year two extends and develops your journalism skills and seeks evidence of an analytical and
questioning approach to issues raised by the practical elements of the programme.
Year three modules are designed to extend your practical skills to industry-entry level and test your
independent judgment and critical awareness.
Only Stage Two grades usually count towards your degree, although you must pass all six
Stage One modules to progress to Stage Two
The course is made up of 18 modules and you will study six modules in each of the three years. Each
single module has a value of 20 credits. Double modules have a value of 40 credits. To gain an honours
degree you need to achieve 120 credits for each year of study- 360 credits in total over the three year
period of your degree programme. You will be expected to pass all your module assessments before
being allowed to progress to the next year.
All students take five compulsory modules for the first year of the course, learning the basic skills of
multimedia journalism and popular music and the media. You then have a choice of either learning
shorthand or studying the business of the media.
In the second year, students continue to learn multimedia skills at a more sophisticated level, studying
print, TV, radio and online journalism.
In the third year of the degree students can choose to specialise in one of the following: newspapers
and magazines, broadcast, dissertation or an enterprise route. Online teaching remains an element of
your study programme, whichever route you take.
Study abroad
The University runs exchange programmes with institutions in Europe, America and Australia. Many students
have benefited from the experience of studying abroad. Exchanges usually take place in the second year
and can be for one semester or for a whole year. If you are interested in studying at a partner college during
your degree please contact Kate Jenner who will be able to advise you, and direct you to specialist staff in the
school and the university. You will find Kate’s contact details in this booklet

and this is indicated in the structure diagram on the previous page. A double module runs
across two semesters. Below are brief details of what you will study for each module.
Year One
Module JN1014 Reporting skills
Module value: Single module (20 credits).
Duration: Semester one.
Assessment: Presentation and time constrained assessment.
Module leader: Julie Freer
This practical module introduces you to all the basic skills of journalism — recognising, and
writing stories. The emphasis is on learning these skills in the print medium.
You will learn the basic legal framework in which reporters operate. At the end of this module,
you should be able to recognise and value news and construct a news story.
You will learn how to create your own contact during this module and produce a portfolio of

practice. As part of that you will critically analyse social media and develop innovative
approaches to creating multiplatform content based on a developing understanding of a range
of media tools and practice. You'll explore the emerging technologies, practice and issues in
a changing digital landscape.
Year Three
Compulsory modules
Module FI3020 British Popular Music and the Media Since 1955
Module value Single module (20 credits)
Duration: Semester one
Assessment: Essay, presentation, analysis.
This module allows you to refine and practise your print journalism skills along a specialist
route for newspaper and magazine journalists. You will take part in of workshops and lectures
and, in teams, you will also design and produce magazines for targeted business and
consumer/specialist markets.
If you feel you are on the wrong course altogether, then please see your course leader as
soon as possible. It is easier to change course in semester one of Y1, so please do not leave
it too late. Please be aware that to progress to each year of the course, you must pass all the
required modules.
News can break at any time and like any professional journalist, you will be expected to cover
it when it happens if you are taking part in news days or practical seminars. On this course
there will be many occasions when you will need to work at weekends and evenings in order
to assemble reports and interviews. Research and project based modules (for instance
JN3024 and JN3992) will demand more private study and formal contact time with staff may
be limited to tutorials and supervision sessions.
Please do not book holidays during term time. Term time breaks disrupt your studies and
will be counted as unauthorised absences. Please check the re-assessment week date before
booking summer holidays
If you are not an EU student under the UK Border Agency (UKBA), Points Based System
(PBS) - you MUST attend your course of study regularly; under PBS, UCLan is obliged to tell
UKBA if you withdraw from a course, defer or suspend your studies, or if you fail to attend the
course regularly.
If you have not gained the required authorisation for leave of absence, do not respond to
communications from the University and if you are absent for four weeks or more, you may be
deemed to have withdrawn from the course. If this is the case, then the date of withdrawal will
be recorded as the last day of attendance.
A reading list that points you towards the main texts that may help in your studies.
Most modules follow a similar pattern. Generally, in each week in each module you will be
expected to:
Attend a lecture. These are usually one hour long and are used to introduce new topics and
learning. You should make notes of what is being said but, more importantly, you should think
about the material and identify significant themes and extra information you need.
Undertake private study. This enables you to reflect on the lecture and to start learning more
about the topic, through reading, research or practice. You will often be directed towards
activities you should carry out but you must also work independently to find answers to
problems.
Contribute to seminars and/or workshops. This is your opportunity to further extend your
learning by discussing and testing out ideas, new knowledge and practical exercises with your
tutor and other students. Many of these sessions will be structured, with your tutor asking you
to prepare specific practical work to enable you to receive further feedback, or to prepare an
individual or group presentation on an aspect of your learning. Seminars and workshops are
also used to prepare you for assignments by giving you opportunities to do similar work and
receive feedback.
This course is both practical and theoretical. Although some modules emphasise one of these
elements more than the other you should constantly strive to establish linkages between them.
Industry placements
You may choose the optional JN3046 Work Placement module in your third year. The timing
of the placement is determined by the individual module leader. For the academic year
2014/2015 most placements will be in specific weeks in December and January, though
students may also undertake placement at Easter and during the summer recess. Placement
dates will be given at the start of the module.
Occasionally, employers may require placement attendance at other times. This can only be
arranged in exceptional circumstances and you must ask permission from your module leader
and course leader before contacting employers. You must not make your own arrangements
for placements outside the official placement weeks unless your course leader has agreed.
Permission will only be given in exceptional circumstances. While the placement is an
important part of the third year programme, it is also vital that you do not miss classes for other
modules.
Tutors may be able to assist in arranging placements through their industry contacts and they
may prefer to make the initial contact with some employers for you. If this is the case, you will
be told at the start of the module. However, it is your responsibility to make sure you have the
required placements arranged. It is also your responsibility to inform the Administration Hub
(see section 1.5 for contact details) of all your placement details so that the necessary health
and safety checks can be carried out. Your employer must satisfy the university’s health
and safety requirements in order for you to take up your placement. In addition, you
must complete the university’s online Health and Safety course, which can be found on
eLearn/Blackboard. Any student who does not complete the H&S course and provide
details of the placement provider will not be allowed to take up the placement offer.
The Internet is an essential tool for the modern journalist. It provides information and a huge
range of news contacts. It gives you the opportunity to contribute your views and show off your
professional skills. We expect you always to act responsibly and to adopt professional
standards when contributing to the web. Sometimes, in the process of free and frank debate,
contentious or controversial issues and events may be discussed in lectures and seminars. It
may be misleading, inappropriate or legally dangerous to take statements from such debates
out of context and post them on the Internet. For this reason your tutor may occasionally ask
you to respect the educational environment and the confidentiality of the speaker by invoking
‘Chatham House’ rules at the beginning of the lecture. When the rules are in force you must
not use Twitter, Facebook or any other electronic social media to disseminate the lecturer’s
comments or the content of the lecture and any discussion around it.
You must always adhere to the university’s Student Guide on personal internet presence.
These rules are designed to protect you from electronic abuse or harassment by a fellow
student, to protect the reputation of the university and to inform you of the local rules governing
internet use. The full guide can be found on the UCLan website. However, we would draw your
attention to the following paragraph:
‘You should not use your site to attack or abuse university staff or students. You
should respect the privacy and the feelings of others. You should not include contact
details or pictures etc of other students without their prior permission. Remember
that if you break the law on your site (for example by posting something defamatory),
you will be personally responsible’.
Mobile phones must be turned off during lectures, seminars and workshops unless permission
has been given to use them as part of the teaching session. It is not permitted for students to
use mobile phones to record or video staff or fellow students during teaching sessions.
Students who circulate or post online mobile phone recordings or videos featuring staff or
students without their permission may be referred to the university’s disciplinary officer.
Professional conduct
We encourage all students to develop their multimedia skills and to publish good examples of
their work on internet sites such as the UCLan ‘Hotpot’ http://ukjournalism.co.uk/thehotpot/
and the ‘Blog Preston’ site, http://blogpreston.co.uk/. Having an Internet presence will enhance
your professional CV as you can include links to show off your journalism work and skills to
prospective employers. However, some of the work you do at university may not be suitable
for posting online. You are still learning and you will inevitably make mistakes as you go along.
If you wish to publish a piece of work online, for example uploading a video to YouTube, you
must discuss this first with your module or course leader. Depending on the nature of the story,
you may have to seek written permission from your news contact and/or interviewees to
publish the story/audio/video. Please remember that if you publish a story which is inaccurate
or libellous, you will be responsible and you could face legal action. It is a good idea to carry
with you a contributor’s permission slip when you go out filming and recording, allowing you
to post material online. A standard permission slip will be posted on the eLearn ‘Blackboard’
for you to print off should you need it.
Interviewing children
Do not approach anyone under the age of 16, unless you have checked with your tutor and
have then obtained permission from a parent/ guardian/teacher of the child.
Harassment
Harassment of an individual/s in pursuit of a story is not acceptable. Often you may have to
contact a person several times to obtain information or request an interview but do not pester
or harass people who are unwilling to talk to you. The long-suffering people of Preston are
generally very willing to give up their time to talk to students from the Journalism Division. We
don’t want to lose their goodwill. Some people in key positions get a lot of calls from students.
If they won’t talk to you, be prepared to back down with good grace. You are, after all, doing a
student exercise that may be important to you but is not so important to them.
Always give your name and introduce yourself as a student journalist at the University of
Central Lancashire. Always be courteous in your dealings with the general public. Consider
your personal presentation. How you dress in everyday student life is entirely your concern.
How you dress and present yourself when operating as a student journalist and representative
of the Journalism Division deserves more consideration. You should always strive to be clean
and appropriately dressed. This is a matter for your common sense and the particular
circumstances. You should certainly wear fairly formal clothing for formal situations – courts,
public authority meetings etc. and during any industry placements. The same sort of clothing
will also be appropriate for most other occasions when you are off-campus operating as a
journalist. This is because:
a) we expect you to operate like a professional journalist and news organisations demand
that their staff dress conservatively;
b) you are far more likely to be taken seriously, and given the information you require, if you
look professional;
c) you won’t frighten members of the public. Who do you think is more likely to get a
response when canvassing public opinion in the street – someone smartly dressed, or
someone in scruffy army fatigues with multiple piercings?
At all times consider the reputation of the Journalism Division. For the sake of students who
will follow you, never prejudice the good name we have. In all circumstances other than
those described above, follow the Press Complaints Commission Code of Practice (see
appendices to this booklet) and seek advice from staff whenever you are in doubt.
Learning to study at university can be a challenge as you are expected to do far more
independent study for your degree than you did for your A Levels. You need to acquire specific
study skills, for example the ability to research a topic thoroughly, to evaluate the literature on
the topic, to develop an argument and to write a well-structured essay. If you are concerned
about your ability to do any of these tasks or if you just want to improve your performance in
assessments, you should arrange to see your module leader or course leader. You can also
use the study skills resources and access advice from the university’s WISER team. Details
can be found at http://www.uclan.ac.uk/students/wiser/index.php
Your future is important to us, so to make sure that you achieve your full potential whilst at
university and beyond, your course has been designed with employability learning integrated
into it at every level. This is not extra to your degree, but an important part of it which will help
you to show future employers just how valuable your degree is. These “Employability
Essentials” take you on a journey of development that will help you to write your own personal
story of your time at university:
To begin with, you will explore your identity, your likes and dislikes, the things that are
important to you and what you want to get out of life.
Later, you will investigate a range of options including jobs and work experience,
postgraduate study and self- employment,
You will then be ready to learn how to successfully tackle the recruitment process.
You will be able to record your journey using Pebblepad, the university’s e-portfolio system,
which will leave you with a permanent record of all the fantastic things you have achieved
during your time at UCLan.
It’s your future: take charge of it!
Careers offers a range of support for you including:-
career and employability advice and guidance
access to work placements, internships, voluntary opportunities, part-time employment
and live projects
workshops, seminars, modules, certificates and events to develop your skills
business start-up, freelance and self-employment advice
For more information come along and visit the team in Foster Building.
Careers staff are expert at providing careers advice, so if you need help with a CV or a job
application, please contact them. Employability within Journalism is very good, with, on
average, 60-70% of our students gaining jobs within the media industries within the first two
years after graduation. Many of our students go into associated professions, such as
marketing and PR, teaching and retail management
Safety assessments have been undertaken for each module of your course and you will be
advised of all applicable safety codes and any specific safety issues during the induction to
your course and modules. You must ensure that you understand and apply all necessary
safety codes. These form an essential element of your personal development and contribute
to the safety of others.
A specific Health and Safety handbook for student journalists has been developed and will be
posted on the eLearn ‘Blackboard’. Please ensure that you read it and use it to guide you
when reporting and producing stories.
4.5 Conduct
You will be expected to abide by the Regulations for the Conduct of Students in the University
Student Guide to Regulations. UCLan expects you to behave in a respectful manner
demonstrated by using appropriate language in class, and switching mobile phones / other
devices off prior to attending classes.
Representation and campaigning for students’ rights is at the core of what we do and is
encompassed by our tag line of, Making Life Better for Students. Should you wish to make a
change to any aspect of your student experience, whether it be academically related or not,
then the Union is where your voice can be heard, actions taken, or campaigns launched.
Your Union is also the home to a fantastic range of student-led societies, sports teams and
multitudes of volunteering opportunities. You can also receive help in finding part-time work,
whilst you study. Not sure where to go pop into the Opportunities Centre on the ground floor
of the Students’ Union building and someone will point you in the right direction.
We hope your time at University is trouble free, but should you come into difficulties around
anything from academic appeals, to issues with housing, benefits or debt, then our dedicated
staff team in the Advice and Representation Centre are on hand to help. As we are
independently run from the university, we can offer truly impartial advice.
More information on all these things, as well as details about all our (not-for-profit) commercial
services, including our student supermarket (Essentials) and student-bar (Source) can be
found at http://www.uclansu.co.uk/.
The Opportunities Centre is the Union’s One Stop Shop to find employment or volunteering
whilst you study. With thousands of jobs and voluntary positions advertised, agency work
through the Bridge and information on over 2000 volunteer positions within the Union.
5. Assessment
Please note that all modules will be assessed. You are expected to attempt all required
assessments for each module for which you are registered, and to do so at the times
scheduled unless authorised extensions, special arrangements for disability, or extenuating
circumstances allow you to defer your assessment.
If you fail to achieve 40% you will normally be ‘referred’. This means you will be offered another
chance to do assignments. If you then pass you can only get a mark of 40%, no matter how
good your second piece of work was.
In many modules you must pass each assignment. This means that even if all your marks in
the module add up to an overall mark of more than 40% you will still be required to retake and
pass any assignment in which you got less than 40%.
Students new to university are sometimes surprised by what appears to be the low level of
marks. This is a result of the marking scale we use and does not necessarily mean you are
doing badly. You should note that the middle of the scale (i.e. the mark for generally adequate
or average work) is 55%. Marks above this indicate quite good to excellent progress. Marks
below this show that there are some weaknesses you need to address and correct.
5.3 Referencing
The referencing style is the Harvard style and a brochure on its use is available in the library
and also for sale from most academic bookshops and online stores.
Authorisation of the late submission of work requires written permission. Your School is
authorised to give permission for one extension period of between 1 and 10 working
days where appropriate evidence of good reason has been accepted and where submission
within this timescale would be reasonable taking into account your circumstances (Academic
Regulations).
You should complete and submit an extension request form, with any supporting evidence,
to your Administration Hub (see section 1.5 for contact details). Further information is
available on the Student Portal at:
https://www.uclan.ac.uk/students/study/examinations_and_awards/extenuating_circumstanc
es.php
We aim to let you know if the extension has been granted within 1 working day of the receipt
of the request.
If you are unable to submit work within 10 working days after the submission date due to
verifiable extenuating circumstances, you may submit a case for consideration in
accordance with the University’s Policies and Procedures on Extenuating Circumstances
(Academic Regulations and Assessment Handbook).
Normally extenuating circumstances will relate to a change in your circumstances since you
commenced your course, which have had a significant, adverse effect on your studies.
Everyday occurrences such as colds or known conditions such as hay-fever will not qualify
unless the effects are unusually severe and this is corroborated by a medical note. The
University does not look sympathetically on absences or delays caused by holiday
commitments or by work commitments in the case of full-time students. The normal work
commitments of part-time students would not constitute an extenuating circumstance. A
disability or learning difficulty does not constitute an extenuating circumstance (see
Academic Regulations).
You can apply for extenuating circumstances online via myUCLan. You must apply no later
than 3 days after any examination or assessment submission date. Do not wait until you
receive your assessment results to submit a claim. It is in your own interests to submit the
claim as soon as possible.
You will be expected to re-submit claims for extenuating circumstances for each semester.
All evidence that is provided relating to extenuating circumstances will be treated in a
sensitive and confidential manner. Supporting evidence will not be kept for longer than is
necessary and will be destroyed shortly after the end of the current academic year.
Further information about the submission process is available at:
https://www.uclan.ac.uk/students/study/examinations_and_awards/extenuating_circumstanc
e_submission.php
You will be provided with generic feedback for in-module formative and summative elements
of assessment which contribute to a module within 15 working days of the scheduled
submission or examination date. Generic feedback on end of module assessment and
dissertations will be made available within 15 days of publication of results. Feedback may be
oral, written, posted on a website or other.
If you attempt to influence the standard of the award you obtain through cheating, plagiarism
or collusion, it will be considered as a serious academic and disciplinary offence as
described within the Academic Regulations and the Assessment Handbook .
The penalties will apply if you transfer from one UCLan course to another during your period
of study and module credits gained on the former course are transferred to the current
course.
If you want to appeal, then you must do so within 14 days of your results being published.
The dates for publication of results can be found in the Academic Calendar. (The onus is on
you to find out your results and submit your appeal on time. Contact the Students' Union
Advice Centre suadvice@uclan.ac.uk for support and advice.
6. Course regulations
The Average Percentage Mark (APM) of your level 5 and 6 modules (generally taken
in years 2 and 3 of a full time course) weighted 30:70.
Or
Your Average Percentage Mark in year 3 only (i.e. your level 6 modules)
If the APM is near a borderline, at the discretion of the Assessment Board, students may be
classified according to the academic judgement of the Assessment Board taking into
account their overall profile and performance with the minimum requirement that:
1. A minimum of 3 modules (60 credits) at level 6 are in the higher classification band
and
2. The APM is no lower than 2 percentage points below that required for the higher
classification.
In operating discretion for profiling Course Assessment Boards will use academic judgement
and may refer to performance in core modules; the placement component, the
dissertation/project or other factors which have been published to students.
7. Student Voice
You can play an important part in the process of improving the quality of this course through
the feedback you give. In addition to the on-going discussion with the course team
throughout the year, there are a range of mechanisms for you to feedback about your
experience of teaching and learning. We aim to respond to your feedback and let you know
of our plans for improvement.
This course is relatively new; over this academic year we will review it and together with your
feedback, revise it.
The Students Union can support you in voicing your opinion, provide on-going advice and
support, and encourage your involvement in all feedback opportunities. They will be
requesting that you complete the National Student Survey (during semester 2 for students in
their final year of study) or the UCLan Student Survey (all other students).
The Students’ Union and University work closely together to ensure that the student voice is
heard in all matters of student-life. We encourage students to provide constructive feedback
throughout their time at university, through course reps, surveys and any other appropriate
means,
The Union’s Student Affairs Committee (SAC), members of Students’ Council and School
Presidents each have particular representative responsibilities, and are involved with
decision making committees as high as the University Board. Therefore it is very important
students engage with the democratic processes of the Students’ Union and elect the
students they see as most able to represent them.
Inform students of other opportunities available for students to voice their opinion within your
course (SSLCs as noted below). Examples could include course management committees,
timetabled sessions with whole cohort of students, on-line discussion with distance learners
and Module Evaluation Questionnaires (MEQs).
The role of a course representative is extremely beneficial to both students on your course
and the university. It enables students to have ownership of their student experience and
voice their opinions and share positive practice with the course team, primarily the Student
Staff Liaison Committee Meetings (see below).
Course representatives will be elected every year either in April or September. Alongside
receiving recognition, support and respect being a course representative is a great
opportunity to enhance your employability skills. If you are interested in becoming a course
representative and wish to find out more about the role visit the Students’ Union website or
by emailing: coursereps@uclan.ac.uk.
School Presidents meanwhile are annually elected representatives who voice the opinions of
students within each school. They communicate and engage with students in their school to
gain feedback and work in partnership with senior management to create positive change.
They are also trained to support and signpost course representatives where needed. If you
wish to find out who is your School President or more about the role visit the Students’ Union
website or email: coursereps@uclan.ac.uk
Students will be invited to put their names forward to become course representatives by email
early in the academic year. Course representatives will be notified of staff and student liaison
committee meetings via email by the School administration team. Meetings occur once in
semester one and semester two and agendas and minutes of the meetings will be circulated
by the administration team.
7.3 Complaints

PDP is a part of all modules within the course and helps define a student’s progress,
professional direction and goals. The concept in part is to focus the student’s opportunities to
maximize engagement with the learning opportunities especially as they relate to career goals.
It gives them a framework to record their activities and actions which form the basis for
professional development of skills and experiences that are sought by employers and will lead
to advancement in the workplace. It is also tracking learning tasks and to reflect on what you
learned and how, what the consequences are and ways they could be better accomplished.

8.3
It is essential that an agreed code be honoured not only to the letter, but in the full spirit. It
should not be interpreted so narrowly as to compromise its commitment to respect the rights
of the individual, nor so broadly that it constitutes an unnecessary interference with freedom
of expression or prevents publication in the public interest.
It is the responsibility of editors and publishers to apply the Code to the editorial material in
both printed and online versions of publications. They should take care to ensure it is observed
rigorously by all editorial staff and external contributors, including non-journalists.
Editors should co-operate swiftly with the PCC in the resolution of complaints. Any publication
judged to have breached the Code must print the adjudication in full and with due prominence,
including headline reference to the PCC.
Accuracy
i)The press should take care not to publish inaccurate, misleading or distorted material including
pictures.
ii) Whenever it is recognised that a significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distorted report
has been published, it should be corrected promptly and with due prominence and where
appropriate – an apology published.
iii) The press, while free to be partisan, must distinguish clearly between comment, conjecture and
fact
v) A publication must report fairly and accurately the outcome of an action for defamation to which
it has been a party, unless an agreed settlement states otherwise, or an agreed statement is
published.
Opportunity to reply
A fair opportunity for reply to inaccuracies must be given to individuals or organisations when
reasonably called for.
Privacy
i) Everyone is entitled to respect for his or her private and family life, home, health and
correspondence, including digital communications. A publication will be expected to justify
intrusions into any individual's private life without consent.
ii) They must not persist in telephoning, questioning, pursuing or photographing individuals after
having been asked to desist; must not remain on their property after having been asked to leave
and must not follow them.
iii) Editors must ensure that those working for them comply with these requirements and must not
publish material from other sources which does not meet these requirements.
Intrusion into grief or shock
i) In cases involving personal grief or shock, enquiries should be carried out and approaches made
with sympathy and discretion. Publication must be handled sensitively at such times but this should
not be interpreted as restricting the right to report legal proceedings such as inquests.
ii) When reporting details of suicide, care must be taken to avoid excessive detail about the method
used
Children
i) Young people should be free to complete their time at school without unnecessary intrusion.
ii) Journalists must not interview or photograph a child under the age of 16 on subjects involving
the welfare of the child or any other child in the absence of or without the consent of a parent or
other adult who is responsible for the children.
iii) Pupils must not be approached or photographed while at school without the permission of the
school authorities.
iv) There must be no payment to minors for material involving the welfare of children nor
payments to parents or guardians for material about their children or wards unless it is
demonstrably in the child's interest.
v) Editors must not use the fame, notoriety or position of his or her parents or guardian as sole
justification of publishing details of a child’s private life.
Children in sex cases
1. The press must not, even where the law does not prohibit it, identify children under the age of
16 who are involved in cases concerning sexual offences, whether as victims or as witnesses.
iii) The word "incest" must not be used where a child victim might be identified.
iv) Care must be taken that nothing in the report implies the relationship between the accused
and the child.
Hospitals
i) Journalists or photographers making enquiries at hospitals or similar institutions should identify
themselves to a responsible executive and obtain permission before entering non-public areas.
ii) The restrictions on intruding into privacy are particularly relevant to enquiries about individuals
in hospitals or similar institutions.
Reporting of crime.
(i) Relatives or friends of persons convicted or accused of crime should not generally be identified
without their consent, unless they are genuinely relevant to the story.
(ii) Particular regard should be paid to the potentially vulnerable position of children who are
witnesses to, or victims of, crime. This should not be interpreted as restricting the right to report
judicial proceedings.
Clandestine devices and subterfuge.
i) The press must not seek to obtain or publish material acquired by using hidden
cameras or clandestine listening devices; or by intercepting private or mobile
telephone calls, messages or e-mails; or by unauthorised removal of documents or
photographs or by accessing digitally held private information without consent.
ii) Engaging in misrepresentation or subterfuge, including by agents or intermediaries,
can generally be justified only in the public interest and then only when the material
cannot be obtained by other means.
ii) It must avoid publishing details of a person's race, colour, religion, sexual orientation, physical
or mental illness or disability unless these are genuinely relevant to the story.
Financial journalism
i) Even where the law does not prohibit it, journalists must not use for their own profit financial
information they receive in advance of its general publication, nor should they pass such
information to others.
ii) They must not write about shares or securities in whose performance they know that they or
their close families have a significant financial interest without disclosing the interest to the editor
or financial editor.
iii) They must not buy or sell, either directly or through nominees or agents, shares or securities
about which they have written recently or about which they intend to write in the near future.
Confidential sources
Journalists have a moral obligation to protect confidential sources of information.
Witness payment in criminal trials
i)No payment or offer of payment to a witness - or any person who may reasonably be expected
to be called as a witness - should be made in any case once proceedings are active as defined
by the Contempt of Court Act 1981.
This prohibition lasts until the suspect has been freed unconditionally by police without charge or
bail or the proceedings are otherwise discontinued; or has entered a guilty plea to the court; or,
in the event of a not guilty plea, the court has announced its verdict.
*ii) Where proceedings are not yet active but are likely and foreseeable, editors must not make or
offer payment to any person who may reasonably be expected to be called as a witness, unless
the information concerned ought demonstrably to be published in the public interest and there is
an over-riding need to make or promise payment for this to be done; and all reasonable steps
have been taken to ensure no financial dealings influence the evidence those witnesses give. In
no circumstances should such payment be conditional on the outcome of a trial.
*iii) Any payment or offer of payment made to a person later cited to give evidence in
proceedings must be disclosed to the prosecution and defence. The witness must be advised of
this requirement.
Payment to criminals
i) Payment or offers of payment for stories, pictures or information, which seek to exploit
a particular crime or to glorify or glamorise crime in general, must not be made directly
or via agents to convicted or confessed criminals or to their associates – who may
include family, friends and colleagues.
ii) Editors invoking the public interest to justify payment or offers would need to
demonstrate that there was good reason to believe the public interest would be
served. If despite payment, no public interest emerged, then the material should not
be published.
