External Advisers

The Programme Approval and Review process requires that the development of the programme should be peer reviewed by at least one External Adviser.

A programme is required to seek external involvement when it:

• undertakes Programme Approval or Programme Review.
• when significant changes are proposed which were not included in the approved programme action plan.

When programme developments fall into the categories described above, the Programme Lead/Director of Programmes is required to nominate, for approval by the Deputy Head of School (Education) on behalf of the School, an External Adviser.
