Framework/programme approval, review and modification

All programmes at BU undergo a process of initial approval and subsequent periodic review, usually as part of a framework of cognate provision. More minor changes to the provision can be undertaken during the period of review through programme/framework modifications managed at School level. The procedures relating to the approval, review and modification of academic provision are available as part of the Academic Procedures series and include information on:

• Academic levels and awards
• Process for framework and programme evaluation
• Documentation required for evaluation
• Guidance for evaluation panel members
• Foundation degree design
• Curriculum design and structure
• Framework/Programme Specification design
• Unit Specification design
• Framework and programme modifications
• Assessment design

Further information to inform curriculum design is available in the education enhancement section of the EDQ website.

Relevant forms and templates required in these processes are included as appendices to Academic Procedures but are also provided as separate documents for ease of use.
