5 Academic developmentsCourse approvals, changes and withdrawals During 2007/08 the Academic Development Committee approved 48 new award titles (compared with 79 in 2006/07, 63 in 2005/06 and 66 in 2004/05). The Committee also approved a number of course title changes and withdrawals, as illustrated in table 1. Table 1 Course title approvals, changes and withdrawals 2007/08
At the recommendation of the Academic Development Committee, the Academic Board approved the addition of the following new awards to the University’s portfolio: Doctor of Biomedical Science (DBMS), Doctor of Health Care (DHC), Doctor of Pharmacy (DPharm) and Master of Laws (LLM). 5.2 Course validations 60 new awards were validated in 2007/08, as described in table 2. This compares with 66 new awards in 2006/07, 46 in 2005/06 and 52 in 2004/05, suggesting a fairly constant rate of new course development in recent years. Table 2 also includes five developments which involved approving delivery of existing courses at partner institutions. During 2007/08 the University approved its first foundation diplomas, which are designed to appeal to part-time learners and employers by integrating academic and work-related learning within flexible two year programmes. The year also saw the validation of the new award of Master of Laws (LLM). At its October 2007 meeting, the Academic Standards Committee received a report confirming that conditions for programmes validated during 2006/07 had been met. The validation reports workshop in November 2007 focussed on the University’s engagement with the QAA academic infrastructure in new course development. Table 2 Courses validated in 2007/08
5.3 Periodic review 2007/08 was the first year of operation for the University’s new periodic review process, which replaced the previous practices of internal subject review and revalidation. More than fifty named awards have been reviewed, at around twenty events, as set out in table 3. All reviews have incorporated student participation, external input, and representation from the Academic Standards Committee. Initial feedback suggests that periodic review has been well-received as a framework for enhancing quality and streamlining process. The Academic Standards Committee will continue to monitor the impact of the new process. Table 3 Courses reviewed in 2007/08
