RDSVSBofS

The main purposes of Boards of Studies are:

· to consider proposals for new courses, programmes and awards;

· to consider changes to existing courses, programmes and awards;

· to consider the closure of existing courses, programmes or awards; and

· to keep teaching, learning and assessment methodologies under review

The Board of Studies ensures that proposals are academically appropriate and supported by evidence and documentation. They ensure that all interested parties in the University are aware of proposals.

Board of Studies ensure that courses, programmes and awards align with relevant criteria:

· the University’s Curriculum Framework, degree regulations and assessment regulations;

· the Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework levels and credit values;

· subject benchmark statements, where relevant

· any relevant professional body requirements

The Board of Studies meets four times per year, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. Depending on their nature, proposals may be submitted to College Learning & Teaching Committees (UG and PG) and/or College Quality Assurance committee/panels
