knowledge acquired from a variety of sources (ii) the ability on the basis of such reflection to formulate original ideas and innovative proposals (iii) the ability to carry out the activities in (i) and (ii) with a fair degree of autonomy. Level 4 courses are taught early in the undergraduate degree programmes. Level 5 in the middle, Level 6 at the final part of the undergraduate degree programmes. If you go on to study for either a graduate Diploma, or the post graduate Certificate or a Masters, then most of the courses are taught at a graduate/post-graduate level, at Level 7. Note: as the level nomenclature has recently been changed at the University, you may still find course specifications with the old nomenclature (e.g. level 1, 2, 3 or M). We are gradually updating all our documentation. PAB: Progression and Award Board: this is the formal Board where decisions on academic progress and on awarding final awards are made. Programme: The collection of courses leading to an award or awards. This is called your programme of study, i.e., a BA (Hons), an MA, an HND, etc…. Portal: You can access online services and information via the university portal at http://gateway.gre.ac.uk or via the university home page. Programme Leader: The academic who manages your programme. Staff/Student Committee and Student Reps: This is a formally assembled group of students and tutors who meet regularly to discuss the progress of the work and to agree action. Students on it are your representatives. Student reps are always kept up-to-date with courses and programme issues by the tutors and the Programme Leaders. They also have meetings with the Head of Department to discuss broader educational and professional issues. Tell them the positive things about the pathway so that they can be retained. Tell them also any concern you may have so that action can be taken to put things right. Insist that you get feedback from them. Better still: become a student rep. now! 39
