The attached paper is a proposal from The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) for the introduction of the MLitt Art, Society and Culture programme commencing in September 2019. The Programme Proposal was approved by GSA’s Executive Group on 1 May 2018.

The original version of this paper was submitted to the May 2018 meeting of Academic Standards Committee (ASC). The minutes of that meeting noted with regard to the Programme Proposal, that ‘Appendix A Structure and Delivery was not included and ASC required to see this in order to consider the schedule of teaching and assessment’. ASC agreed that it was unable to give in-principle approval to the Programme Proposal until these matters had been resolved. GSA was invited to advise ASC once the relevant issues had been addressed.

GSA has now revised the original submission and has provided an addendum (enclosed) along with the original paper outlining the following further information:

• Programme structure and delivery

• Schedule of teaching and assessment
• Programme aims and learning outcomes
• Information on resource and facilities
  

ASC is asked to consider and approve in-principle, the introduction of the MLitt Art, Society and Culture programme at GSA, commencing in September 2019.

GSA.

None have been identified for the University.

Subject to in-principle approval of the Programme Proposal by ASC and, thereafter, approval of the Programme Approval Document by GSA’s Undergraduate and Postgraduate Committee’s (UPC) Programme Approval meeting in February 2019, the programme will commence in September 2019.

A full Equality Impact Assessment will be carried out for the proposed programme in tandem with the preparation of the Programme Information Document.
