1) Programme Management
Describe the arrangements for the operational management of the programme and the quality assurance
mechanisms that will be put in place. Consideration should be given to student representatives and hearing
student views.
Complete either section a) for programmes delivered by one School/Institute or section b) for programmes
delivered by more than one School/Institute.
a) Single School/Institute Delivery
The programme will be managed by the School of Politics and International Relations. Overall academic management of the
programme will be the responsibility of the designated member of staff. It will be their responsibility to oversee admissions,
course and programme development, assessment and quality assurance, in association with the School Learning and Teaching
Committee and the School Masters Committee. In delivering these functions, the programme convenor will work closely with
the School and Postgraduate administrators. The administrative side of the programme will be located in the School of Politics
and International Relations, who will deal with exam board issues, admissions and marketing.
Progression will be dealt with by the post-graduate exam board in the School of Politics and International Relations. All
assessments will follow standard school procedures for making and moderation and a sample will be sent to the external
examiner for the programme.
