The Annual Review of Courses provides a summary of all developmental activity undertaken and planned by a department in relation to a course/group of courses.

The summary of academic policy decisions is prepared principally for the benefit of Heads of Department/School, relevant Centre Directors and for Departmental Administrators.

These are designed to ensure information is scrutinised by the appropriate experts and representatives from across the University.

New courses are considered via a Validation Panel where they are in a new curriculum area, involve a significantly new method of delivery or external collaboration, or require validation to meet an external organisation’s requirements.

Advice is offered by teams across the University on the various aspects of new course and module approval, from initial development, through to ongoing review and enhancements.
