Brief description of the paper 

An examination of the recommendations made by PSR Review Panels in Session 2011-12 has been undertaken with the aim of identifying themes or issues that might require attention at a broader level, either across College or the University as a whole or which should feed into University strategies such as Learning and Teaching or Estates.

Two main themes have been identified: Resources for Learning and Teaching and Student Support. Two other broader categories have also been identified: Quality Enhancement/Assurance and Learning Opportunities.

Action Requested 

Academic Standards Committee is asked to note this overview of the recommendations and to consider whether any further University-wide action is merited and should be initiated.
