Taught Programmes Board (TPB) is asked to consider and
approve the proposal(s) identified above and detailed in the
accompanying documentation. If any conditions of approval or
recommendations arise through discussion at the Board these
should be clearly stipulated in the TPB minutes and
articulated to the proposer.
The documentation presents a proposal to develop the Master
of Public Administration, which will be offered in full time and
part time modes of study.
The University of London Collegiate Council approved the 12
month MPA award and part time equivalent at its meeting on
28 th September 2012.
The Part 1 Programme Proposal was developed in parallel
with this Part 2 submission and has been approved by the
Faculty Vice-Principal. However, confirmation has not been
received that the non-standard fees have been approved.
The Part 2 Programme Proposal lists the programme
qualification as Master of Science (MSc) because the 2011-12
form used did not include the Master of Public Administration
option.
Comments from the external advisor are positive and have
been duly considered.
