2.2 PGT College Annual Monitoring Summaries for 2018-19: College of Social Sciences (ASC/2020/2.3) 

As concerns regarding English language skills had been raised across AMRs for a number of years, the issue was drawn to the attention of EdPSC and discussed at its meeting on 22 October 2020. The Convener of EdPSC agreed to raise the issue with Ms Rachel Sandison,Vice Principal, External Relations.

2.3 Responses to the PSR of Veterinary Medicine – Graduate Access to Mahara (ASC/2020/2.4 and ASC/2020/5.4.2) 

This issue was also highlighted to EdPSC given the increasing number of subject areas expressing interest in the use of Mahara and the growing importance of preparing students for employment after graduation. In view of the resource implications, the Convener of EdPSC undertook to discuss this with Mr Dave Anderson in Information Services. In addition, the Convener will flag this with Learning & Teaching Committee given the planned commitment within the forthcoming L&T Strategy to students' skills and professional development and the need for students to demonstrate their achievements after graduation.
