Press ReleasesFocklaghyn-naightMedia Update - 25 July 2003 Top Marks for IBS Students Students are continuing to achieve excellent results at the end of the International Business School’s second academic year. Year one students of the full-time BA (Hons) Business Studies degree programme have achieved an average of 62% across the ten subject modules studied over the year - and second year students have achieved 61%. This puts most IBS students well on track to achieving a prestigious upper second or first class degree result. Four of the Business Studies students have achieved joint top marks for individual modules with students taking the same programme at Liverpool John Moores University. This is excellent when you consider that there are between 200 and 350 students taking individual modules. Three first year students have also achieved an outstanding 95% in their Skills for Business module. Some of these people are part-time students with full-time jobs which is an even more commendable achievement. IBS Director, Professor Roger Carey, is delighted with the excellent results that students have achieved. He gave his warmest congratulations to the students and commented that, “These results reflect the very hard work that stem from the student’s commitment and dedication to their course. Our staff and students are working extremely hard to build and maintain the reputation of a Higher Education institution of which the Isle of Man can be proud of. These results at the end of our second academic year prove that we are on the right track.” IBS students on Masters programmes are also continuing to perform to a high standard. Second year students taking part-time MScs in Financial Regulation & Compliance and International Banking & Finance are now in the final stretch towards completing their Masters degrees, writing up their dissertations, and one group will graduate this Autumn. The part-time MBA programme that began in the New Year is also off to a good start – all students completed modules comfortably and are looking forward to new challenges in September.
