Report from Programme and Course Approval Working Group – 29 November 2010
Cover Sheet
Ms Helen Clegg, Clerk to the Working Group
Brief description of the paper
Report of items considered at the last meeting of the Working Group held on Monday 29 November 2010.
Action Requested
ASC is invited to consider for approval the recommendations that:
- current practice relating to external involvement in approval should remain unchanged, with external examiners providing advice through consultation prior to the submission of proposals to the College, rather than as formal members of approval panels;
- external consultants should not be included on Programme Approval Groups, as the purpose of these is not to review the academic content of proposals.
ASC is invited to note the remaining items.
