University of Leeds 2016 Offer Holders

Just received an offer for L100 Economics, AAA, should hopefully get the A2L offer now!

Well Done!! When did you apply??

Is anyone studying Adult Nursing at Leeds? I've been offered an unconditional and starting this September!

I've got an offer for the exact same course!! Definitely making it my firm - the discovery modules really sold it to me.

I'm a first year on said course The lecturers are really lovely ^.^ I'll give you guys a heads up now. You'll be set a 2,500 word essay in induction week, they're just THAT kind But yeah, you get a pretty wide range of discovery modules to choose from ^.^

Interesting, what kind of essay question would I be expected to answer in that induction week? 👀

You have about two months to complete it, so it's not that bad.
Our question was along the lines of 'What is globalisation, with regards to one multi-national company of your choice explain its effects'

it was a bit longer than that, but you get the gist It was quite a nice, broad topic, and it is to introduce you to the uni's system of handing in essays, following the criteria of layout, and you're also given lectures in academic reading and referencing and stuff like that ^.^

Doesn't sound tooo painful! How are you finding the course itself? Are you glad you chose it?

I like it to be honest I am more into the marketing side, and there isn't really much of that in first year. Also if you studied A-level business you will find that first year is a lot of repetition so that everyone is on a level playing field for second year. It might be slightly different for you but our core modules this year were

Economics for management - Introduction to economics really, first semester was mainly free markets and monopolies and stuff. I have never studied economics before, and it moves quite quickly, but it's not bad.

Organisational behaviour - Still not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing in that module, seem to have a lecture once in a blue moon and loads of seminars. If you've done about motivational theorists and job design (taylor and all that stuff) you know where I'm coming from.

Personal Tutorials for IB - this is sort of a mishmash of uni skills

Principles of IB- the basics of international business and sort of like the macro economic background to stuff

Global entrepreneurship- this just started this semester and we are the first year to do it, so who knows what's going on in that

You'll also have to pick like 20 credits of 'optional modules' from a list, then up to 20 credits of 'discovery modules' for a total of 100-120 credits
