Changes are being made to the BN programme to bring its courses in line with the University's agreed standard credit ratings. There are however seven remaining large courses where it has not been possible to apply the standard credit ratings either due to their extensive use of clinical practice or the need to integrate skills and theory learning. The proposed non standard courses and the rationale for them are provided in the paper.

ASC is invited to consider the proposal and approve the non standard credit ratings for the seven courses detailed in the paper.
