New course approval

Part 1: Approval for Publicity, Notes and Guidance

There are two parts to course approval that can be dealt with together if required.  Part 1, Approval for Publicity, requires the department to make a general case that the proposed course is academically coherent and justify its introduction.  Once Approval for Publicity is granted, the new course may be advertised.

An application for Part 1 approval should be made using the Part 1: Approval for Publicity Proforma (word Document)

Part 1 approval requires approval of the resource implications of the proposed new course. 

Resource Implications

All new courses have resource implications and your Faculty Accountant will help departments in identifying costs and advise on any bids which may need to be made for additional funding.  The proposer should contact the Faculty Accountant, who will provide a costing report for consideration by the PVC.
