The Policy and Guidance on the Approval of New Taught Provision provides a framework to ensure that proposals for new taught provision: are integrated with planning and strategies at University and School levels; have shown there is suitable market demand; have given appropriate consideration to prospects for graduates; have given appropriate consideration to accessibility, equality and diversity; satisfy expectations about quality and academic standards which are aligned with the UK Quality Code and University policies; benefit from appropriate consultation across the University and externally; and provide the basis for a source of clear and accurate information to stakeholders including prospective and current students, employers, Registry, External Relations and the University's Schools.
