¹û¶³Ó°Ôº

From July 2023, all departments will need to produce a Department Education Plan (DEPs) which lays out their plans for improving education and student experience for their taught students over the coming year. DEPs will use quantitative and qualitative data to inform the department's education-focused actions over the next academic year.

DEPs are a light-touch and strategic replacement of the Annual Student Experience Review (ASER) and are ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's main quality assurance process. The priorities will be set with clear success measures and will feed into the Faculty Education Plans in a risk-based way.Ìý

The DEP data includes:Ìý

• NSS / PGS/ APS
• Continuation, Completion and Progression rates
• Graduate Outcomes Survey
• BAME and other Awarding Gaps ÌýÌý
