For affiliate students at UCL in Term 1 only. Knowledge of Russian is required.

This module introduces students to the major poets and themes of the Russian poetic tradition, advances the ability to read in the original, and develops skills of critical analysis of poetic texts. To this end, it is based on a selection of texts from the 19th and 20th century, grouped under a series of broader or narrower thematic headings. The poems are chosen with a number of additional criteria in mind as well, such as accessibility in terms of language, variety (which may lead to the odd more difficult text), and links to other texts. The thematic headings provide material for one to three weeks, with on average three short poems per week. For contrast, three weeks are devoted to a detailed study of a longer work, Pushkin's controversial narrative poem Mednyi Vsadnik. Two module booklets containing all the poems studied on the course (apart from Pushkin's Mednyi Vsadnik), together with audio-recordings of the poems, are provided on Moodle.

This module examines the application of legal considerations to the activities of organisations. The focus is on a practical approach to legal issues and problems that arise. If I want to start a business what structures are available to me, such as forming a company? When is a legal contract formed, how can it be breached and what remedies may be available? What rights do employees have in the workplace, particularly in relation to dismissal, redundancy and discrimination? How does the English Legal System work? How can my valuable original work be protected from imitation and what are copyrights and patents?

Over the period of their undergraduate studies, Information Management for Business students

will have worked both individually and also together in groups on a variety of topics and subjects,

and towards many different aims and objectives. The purpose of the extra mural year is to extend

these experiences to an operational, commercial, or managerial setting.

 

The extra mural year normally involves the student taking a substantial placement of one year in

an organisation. This placement is secured by the student and approved by the School of

Management as relevant for the student’s field of study in information management and

business.

 

The extra mural year provides the opportunity to gain work experience, in a period that combines

study and work, and the application of study to work. Additionally the intention is to ensure that

this part of the student experience is formally recognised in the degree they obtain from UCL
