All courses and modules are updated annually as part of the ongoing cycle of monitoring and review.

The University has a risk-management approach to the approval of new degree courses and awards. The intensity of scrutiny is determined largely by the volume of new curriculum.

Proposals for new modules on existing courses should be submitted in line with the annual update deadlines. New modules designed as part of a new course proposal should be incorporated into that approval process.

The Periodic Review event concentrates on the review and re-approval of courses and considers any recommendations and areas of good practice.

This formal process evaluates a course or group of related courses to assure the continuing quality of provision in the department.
