Recommendation 4

The Panel was pleased to learn from the Head of School that the School had undertaken a review and rationalisation of the taught courses portfolio and fully acknowledged the need for the School to be mindful of staff and their wellbeing when reviewing workloads. The Review Panel welcomed this approach by the School and recommends that the Subject liaises with the School in order to identify ways to alleviate the pressures on the Subject and to find efficiencies by integrating common functions. [paragraph 4.3.4]
