Group work

During your studies, working in multi-cultural teams or groups will form an important part of your studies. Not only is this a key part of the learning experience, but it will also help to prepare you for future employment. At the Department of Management, we strive to achieve diversity among our student cohorts to ensure that the study environment reflects the globalised world in which we live and work. We hope that you will form lasting relationships with the other students in your cohort and that working together helps to facilitate this process.

Students are encouraged to complete online diversity training such as the courses available for postgraduates on https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/training/ and make use of a social contract such as the one below to set out and agree guidelines for good practice in group work.

If you encounter any problems during group work that you are unable to resolve with your group, you should bring this to the attention of your module coordinator as early as possible and before any assessed group work is submitted.
