At its meeting on 16 April 2013, the Academic Standards Committee received the Report of Periodic Subject Review of the School of Veterinary Medicine. The recommendations contained within the report were approved for onward transmission to those identified for action. This report details the responses and the progress made to date in implementing the recommendations.

The Convener considers that the Panel’s recommendations have been, as far as possible, given full and appropriate consideration.

Academic Standards Committee is asked to consider the adequacy of the responses and the progress made, particularly noting the following:

Recommendation 1: A report to ASC in April 2013 outlined the proposed revision to the MSci curriculum though no schedule was outlined at that time. ASC is therefore asked to note the proposed schedule indicated here.

Recommendations 4 and 11: It is suggested that a follow-up report be requested.

As identified in the report.

No direct resource implications have been identified.

As outlined.

No specific implications identified, although the School should continue to embed consideration of equality and diversity in all its procedures and provision.
