ACADEMIC GUIDE 2016-2017 Higher degree in Marketing & Commercial Management

INTRODUCTION ESIC offers the Academic Guide of the course 2016-2017 to students and teachers as a contribution to the general information needed to facilitate the better development of the educational action of the School. The notable development experimented by ESIC, especially in the latest years, is, above all, due to the perception of the quality of its programs by companies, to the practical approach of its methodology - without dismissing its main theoretical bases - and to the effort in transmitting to students not only knowledge about what is or will be their profession, but also the capacities, skills and values which, precisely, give a person their professionalism. Not only have students contributed and are still contributing to this development but also the teachers of the School, most of them managers and professionals in their own sectors, all the personnel, with their dedication and commitment, and the business world, where the School is constantly looking for orientation so as to meet the requirements and needs, and offers, for its part, interesting work opportunities to our students. Definitely, ESIC one of the pioneering centers in business and marketing education in Spain, is at the top of Business Administration Schools in our country and it is object, in addition, of an increasing international attention, with relevant agreements with universities and business schools and with the presence of the teaching staff and students from other countries. We wish this information document fulfills its aim and may be improved in the consecutive annual editions.

4.1. INTRODUCTION

The present regulations develop the statutory precepts of the School with regards to the academic

activity of the Undergraduate Area and, therefore, order the basic core of the relationships among the different elements- direction, tutors, teachers, students, organisation, administrative-economic regime that constitute such area as a unity of creation and knowledge transmission, human education and professional preparation The content and formulation of these regulations respond to the nature of the precepts applicable to the ordinary reality, and to the exigence that may be efficiently and fairly regulated in the practical performance of the area.

4.2. DEGREE IN MARKETING & COMMERCIAL MANAGEMENT

Aimed at those students who have taken and passed the pre-university course, Baccalaureate, Higher-level-Vocational Training or who have other certification which enables them to start university studies. This leads the students through 4 academic years to obtain the Higher Degree in Marketing Management and Commercial Management (ESIC Degree), through training in the sphere of Business Science, focused on Marketing and Commercial Management, paying attention, in general, to Business Management and Administration and, in particular, to Entrepreneurship as well as Digital Economy.

The following aspects establish the characteristics of this program:

Specific attention to Marketing and Commercial Management perspective, on the basis of a

general and adequate knowledge of the Business as a whole. Full professionalism required to its graduates, with essential features such as technical ability,

human responsibility and work dedication. Student motivation for the enterprise initiative and the responsible acceptance of risks. An active methodology, which aims at bringing together academic rigour with business practice,

combining individual study and effort with the preparation for teamwork. Integral human education aligned with the beliefs of the Dehonian religious congregation,

which founded and regulates the School

4.3. STUDY PLAN

The study plan is organised in courses according to the recommendations in the so-called Bologna Plan, having a first phase of four academic years ( Higher Degree in Marketing and Commercial Management) and one specialisation phase in which the students may spend an additional year studying for a specialisation master in some areas of knowledge defined to that purpose in the Postgraduate Academic Area. In addition, we advise all students to take advantage of the course (taught in English) so as to obtain an Official Certificate in that language. In the development of the study plan we expect to combine the achievement of knowledge, development of management skills and to share business experience with an integrating vision and essential human values to perform the management function. In Málaga, Navarra, Sevilla and Zaragoza, when finishing the third course, if they decide to continue with the fourth course, they will obtain the Higher Degree in Marketing.

Exams will only take place in the specific dates intended by the School management.

4.7.1. MANDATORY ATTENDANCE

1. Attendance is mandatory, including those students with second or more enrollments, being a basic criterion of the teaching system in ESIC, and taking part in the final grade together with other criteria such as active participation in class, compulsory coursework and presentations, intermediate written tests and other objective assessment that are defined in the Continuous Evaluation System:

2. The percentage of Absences will be calculated dividing the number of absences by the number of classes given in each moment.

Page 18: ESIC · M No classes Festivity of Saint Isidore 22. M Last day of exams End of the exam period of the 1st Call, Second Semester subjects. 23. T Start of remedial classes JUNE 2017

ACADEMIC GUIDE 2016-2017

18

3. Those students who have a percentage of Absences equal or higher than 25%, calculated as mentioned in the previous point, will have to take the exams directly in the ordinary call (final exam), therefore, losing the option of being evaluated in a continuous way (written tests, coursework, active participation, etc...)

4. Mandatory attendance is an administration and organisation regulation of the center.

5. Students will have, through students’ intranet (www.esic.edu/campus), a computing tool in which they will be able check, at any time, their absences and grades..

6. Absences will not be justified.

7. In specific circumstances, listed as follows, there will be an absences record.

a. Absence, due to illness, over a week. b. Serious familiar issues. c. Associated or elite athletes. d. Disabilities e. Chronic diseases-

The student should communicate Coordination with regards to the previous assumption.

4.7.2. Attendance to Extraordinary Acts

The attendance to seminars, conferences and other extraordinary teaching acts organized by the School will be academically mandatory for all the students and it may be an essential requirement to take the exams.

4.7.3. Validations Students who move to other ESIC centers (Madrid, Valencia, Zaragoza, Pamplona, Sevilla and Barcelona) will have to move their academic record. The validation of the passed subjects by students in other centers will be admitted, basically, in the frame of agreements whit universities and national or international centers which foresee exchanges of students with mutual validation of degrees or the obtained grades. Academic Management will make public the subjects which can be validated to ESIC students within an exchange program, or in general, in the agreed terms in an agreement, have studied and passed the subjects in an specific center.

The interested students will have to apply for the validation in the undergraduate area secretariat, enclosing the original -or a copy certified by the secretariat-of the corresponding academic certification. Dubious or unforeseen assumptions will be resolved by Academic Management, which might require, in this case, a report from the academic departments. Other possible validations will be considered as exceptional, with an individualized inspection of each case by the Academic Management, they will take into account the program, duration and methology with which the subject was studied, the center where it was studied, the obtained grade and other academic or professional circumstances of the applicant, collecting all the supplementary information considered reasonable, and in any event, the one from the pertinent department, or even, if necessary, the performance of a general test about the subject or subjects to validate. The application, accompanied by the relevant academic certification, will be solved, definitely, by the Academic Management, communicating that decision to the applicant. The validation of a subject is not an exemption to pay for the corresponding enrollment fees.

4.7.4. Continuous Evaluation.

Continuous Evaluation is mandatory for all the subjects, for both, the First and Second Call in

each Academic Course. To have the right to continuous evaluation, it is necessary that the Absences percentage is under

25% calculated in the way mentioned in the section “Mandatory Attendance-Point 2”. At the beginning of the course two different formats will be explained (Written Tests, Mandatory

Coursework and Active Participation) and their different percentage weight in the final grade, which will be detailed in the “Teaching Guide” of each subject. Students in second or following enrollments, with justified impossibility of attending the classes and authorized by Undergraduate Coordination, will be evaluated by “Continuous Evaluation”. The student will be responsible for carrying out and/or handing in, and in some events, defending the pieces of Continuous Evaluation that appear in the Teaching Guide of the pertinent Subject, in the format and dates indicated by the teacher.

4.7.6. Information and revision

ORDINARY REVISION OF TAKEN EXAMS Once final exams grades are known, the students might require information or clarifications about the obtained grade to the pertinent teacher. Students might require the revision through the means available at the moment, in the Area Secretariat. This kind of information will not be considered as a revision of the exam but as a teaching complement or clarification.

EXTRAORDINARY REVISION OF FINAL EXAMS ( REVISION BOARD) In the event that after a final exam ordinary revision, the student who does not agree with the obtained grade might require, through a written document in the Undergraduate Area Secretariat and within the following five class days to the published ordinary revision, the formation of a revision board only if the requiring reasons are sufficiently founded. The structure and constitution of the board belongs to the Dean of the School, once the Area Vice-dean , the Director of the corresponding Department and the teacher of the subject have been heard.

The response will be communicated to the applicant by means of a written document within a month since the submission of the document requiring a Board, being an unappealable response. NOTIFICATION OF FINAL EXAMS QUALIFICATIONS ESIC will provide all the students who require, in a personalized way, the obtained results in each of the enrolled subjects in the corresponding academic period.

4.7.7. Students Representation Dialogue and Communication It is an ESIC regulation to provide opportunity for dialogue with students, with both teachers and tutors as well as Academic Management. With regards to general issues, this dialogue will be carried out, preferably, through the representatives of each course.

The students of each group will choose, within a month period since the start of the classes, two representatives who constitute the ordinary channel of representation before the School’s Management Bodies.

The Academic Management will meet, officially, with the students’ representatives twice a year

and, in addition, when special circumstances require so.

5. ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE The School performance is based on mutual trust and in the collaboration among teachers, tutors, students, administrative staff and center management, whose common effort is expected as a result of human and professional education of students. In this sphere, it is necessary that universities regulate protection schemes against abuse over the normal and rational cohabitation among students, teachers and staff from universities and attached centers. The defence of this adequate environment of relationship may require, in some occasions, the appliance of disciplinary regulations based on a regime of breaking contractual terms, which are contemplated as an exception and, in any case, would be considered with the estimated caution as necessary in the academic sphere. Until the Disciplinary Authority Regulatory Law is not passed in the university sphere and, as a development of the principle of autonomous university, the following regulations will be applied:
