How should we review programmes that are run jointly by more than one school/department?
There are two answers to this question:
a) For joint programmes (e.g. French and German) the individual departments should review their half of the programme at the same time as all other programmes. Although it is not a necessity for the two departments involved to get together to review the programme, this is encouraged as good practice.
b) Where a programme is run between schools (e.g. Mathematics and Physics, Medieval Studies, MB ChB) all the relevant schools/departments should be involved in the Annual Programme Review. This could be organised through a management team meeting or by the programme director. The APR report should then be sent to all relevant schools/departments as well as to apr-admin@bristol.ac.uk.
If the programme has relatively few students is it necessary to review it?
When should we expect the statistical information to be sent?
What if the statistical information provided is not accurate?
What should we do if we decide as a result of the APR that a programme structure needs changing?
What if we haven't received our External Examiners' reports by the time of the review meeting?
