Leanne Matthews,

Associate Cost

Manager

Heriot-Watt prepares you very

well for a successful career in

the construction profession asthere is a strong emphasis on

management, as well as the

technical aspects that you will

need for the job. Even after

eight years I still find links

with what I did on my course

and what Im doing today.

I am currently responsible for

the co-ordination and manage-

ment of a range of construc-

tion projects, my role focuses

on costs and ensuring thatbudgets are managed efficient-

ly. I work on a diverse range of

projects in terms

of size and the skills required,

from school building pro-

grammes in the Borders to a

new visitor centre in the Royal

Botanic Gardens in Edin-

burgh.

Natalie Jones,

Barbados

I chose the Heriot

Watt University programme

based on three criteria: flexibil-

ity, popularity and range ofprogrammes available. I liked

that this programme did not

require me to submit periodic

assignments, only self-study

and examinations as frequent-

ly as my work schedule would

permit. Good programme,

great flexibility, with online

and electronic study resources

to help me along the way.

Alfred Okot Okidi,

Uganda

I have found the

Heriot Watt programme to be

unique, practical, relevant and

so enriching. The pro-

gramme was quite taxing, as I

had to blend my reading with

a demanding work schedule.

The beauty of the programme

to me was in the flexibility of

the course and concise course

materials presented in stimu-

lating language. I treasure the

programme more than all my

earlier qualifications and

courses.

Jason Julien,

Trinidad & Tobago

The HWU experi-

ence far exceeded my expecta-

tions. The quality of the

teaching materials was first-

class, as they were well written

and effectively communicated

the complex concepts. In addi-

tion to presenting theory and

practice, the authors fostered

critical thinking with their

narrative. I highly recommend

HWU for anyone seeking to

equip themselves for the chal-

lenges of todays competitive

world.

Sundays between the hoursof 9:00 AM and 4:00 P.M. Adetailed timetable will be pro-

vided at the start of everyterm.

The lectures will focus on thereview, discussion and practi-cal application of key con-cepts and material. Thislearning style is designed todeepen the knowledge of anarea by encouraging a critical-thinking approach revolvingaround an understandingofthe material, rather than adetailed rote-learning re-gurgitation of the syllabus.

The lectures would be fol-lowed by a tutorial once eachmonth. This will be focused

on solving problems relatedto the issues covered in thelectures for the preceding

Lectures in the BSc Con-struction Project Manage-ment Programmes will beheld on weekdays betweenthe hours of 5:30 P.M. to8:30 P.M or on Sundays(depending on the numberof registrants) from 8:00AM to 4:00 PM.

How did you hear about this course

Conditions of Enrolment

The offering of courses will require B&B to enter into commitments for future expenses for the period of

the programme aimed at satisfying possible student needs. Registration for such courses followed by at-

tendance at or participation in classes will therefore be taken as an implicit agreement of the student to

remain in the programme for the duration of the period so as to enable the Institute to meet these commit-

ments entered into on their behalf, and will be interpreted as the provision of an instruction to the Institu-

tion to establish these commitments.

Cancellation of Courses

The withdrawal of the student from the programme will jeopardize the ability of the Institution to meet

these commitments, and in so doing negatively affect its relationship with other students. As such, with-

drawal will only be allowed upon the provision to the Programme Coordinator of a satisfactory explanation

of the reason for withdrawal, and the acceptance of such. Verifiable cases of financial difficulty, fami-

ly/personal problems, health issues, work-related difficulties, and poor academic performance will be ac-

cepted as valid reasons for withdrawal. Other cases will be subject to deliberation before acceptance. Once

the withdrawal is accepted, the withdrawal procedure will then follow the established guidelines of the

Awarding Body offering the qualification (if applicable). The student will have the right to present his/her

case to the Awarding Body for a binding determination to be made in the event that B&B refuses to accept

the reasons for withdrawal. Students are hereby advised that their registration for courses and the subse-

quent attendance at or participation in classes will give B&B Institute the right to have recourse by any

means necessary for expenses suffered, up to the amount of the commitment that was made based on theunderstanding that they would remain in the course. This right may be waived based on the joint agree-

ment of the Programme Coordinator and Executive Director/Principal of B&B. The right will also be

waived if withdrawal is made before tuition begins.

Refunds

Students who withdraw from a programme before instruction begins will be refunded the full amount of all

sums paid to the Institution, with the exception of the applicable registration fee. Refunds for students

who withdraw from a programme of study after instruction begins and up to one month after the start of

the programme are subject to the joint agreement of the Programme Coordinator and the Executive Direc-

tor/Principal of B&B Institute. If the refund is granted, a portion of fees paid will be withheld to cover

expenses suffered up to the date of withdrawal. The same policy of partial refund upon joint agreement of

the validity of the same and acceptance of such will be applicable to students who register for a course but

do not attend/participate in classes. Refunds will not be given for requests for withdrawals made more than

one month after tuition has begun.

Availability of Courses

The Institute reserves the right to postpone or cancel any of its advertised courses for reasons such as the

unavailability of a lecturer/tutor or a lack of sufficient student numbers. In this event, B&B Institute of

Business will refund all fees already paid towards the withdrawn course.
