consultation with the Course Manager.

Independent Safeguarding Agency (ISA) / Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance required:

Yes

PS11. Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme Leader/Manager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth University’s annual programme monitoring process (APM), as titled at the time of approval. APM culminates in the production, maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan, which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards. Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme Leader/Manager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee.

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders. For this definitive document it is important to define:

Subject External Examiner(s):

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked, consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team.

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE. Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme.

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager, the awarding body’s partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award.

The following modules are parented by other programmes, as detailed, and therefore covered by the respective external examiners: Scientific Techniques and Applications of Computer Aided Design: FdSc Surf Science and

Technology Oceanography and Meteorology, applications of Oceanography, Environmental Impact

Assessment: FdA Coastal Safety Management Enterprise, Events and Expeditions: FdA Coastal Safety Management Honours Project: Shared with other BSc (Hons) courses at CCN

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme:

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently, twice a year in the Student Review. This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year.

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review.


Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders, the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision.

Current students on the programme will be asked to elect a student representative from each year. This student will be provided with regular time slots within the group tutorial slot to hold an open discussion with their fellow colleagues, highlighting any issues that need raising, These points are then brought to the student representative meetings attended by a member of the senior management, a member of the student union, and a senior tutor. Minutes of these meetings are passed on to the relevant management level for action. All current students will contribute towards course development though termly student review meetings, held within group tutorials, and end of module reviews- with particular emphasis on assessment type and range, and sector specific skills development.

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression, department provision, resources and staffing. A focus group of interested parties exists to advise on course development and content. Their continued support with content, delivery and development is agreed.

In addition employers from a number of different and relevant industry types, both public and private sector, are invited to an employer’s forum held twice a year, whereby development of programme, modules, assessment and further employer links for work-related study and work experience placements are discussed and embedded into the programme.

PS13. Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes, Teaching & Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills, at any level of HE , is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised. The interrelated factors of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme.

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important:
