At the meeting on 18 November 2011, ASC received an update on further progress with the two outstanding recommendations from the Review of Urban Studies. The Committee was satisfied with progress for Recommendation 9 as it was evident that the Subject was seeking out overseas study opportunities for its students. Recommendation 1 sought development of a subject specific learning and teaching strategy, and while the response relating Undergraduate provision was accepted, it was agreed that an update on the Head of Subject's forthcoming development of a strategy for PGT should be requested for November 2012.

The Head of the School of Social and Political Sciences has indicated that the following responses are the current position and the School will give a further update as and when required by ASC. The internal discussions relating to recommendation 1 are underway with some key meetings taking place this month.
