Brief description of the paper 

The attached report provides an update on a proposal from The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) for the approval of three new named awards for the MDes Design Innovation programme. These will be delivered from GSA’s new Creative Campus in Forres. • MDes Design Innovation and Collaborative Creativity • MDes Design Innovation and Interaction Design • MDes Design Innovation and Transformation Design The proposal received approval, in principle, by Academic Standards Committee (ASC) in April 2015. ASC considered programme documentation in May 2015 and agreed not to approve the programme at that time as 6 conditions which were set by GSA’s Undergraduate and Postgraduate Committee Programme Approval Panel in April 2015, remained outstanding. GSA has confirmed that these conditions have now been met (see report).
