Multiple Programme Specifications for Similar Awards

Cover Sheet

Ms H Butcher, Clerk to the Committee

 
Brief description of the paper 

The paper considers the question of the need for multiple programme specifications for groups of similar awards which was raised at the Semester 1 PAG for MVLS.

Action Requested 

ASC is invited to consider whether the current guidance on producing multiple programme specifications requires revision to confirm that multiple documents should normally be expected in order to ensure that sufficient detail on the distinct features of the different programmes is clearly presented or, alternatively, whether there is a need to clarify the circumstances in which a single specification will be appropriate and when multiple specifications are required.

Recommended Person/s responsible for taking action(s) forward 

Senate Office will amend the Guidance as agreed by ASC.

Resource implications 

None identified.

Timescale for Implementation 

Any agreed Guidance updates will be made as soon as possible.

Equality implications 

None identified.
