Recomendation 1 Postgraduate Each School identifies a post graduate course as a priority area for development in flexible mode where there is the potential for growth of student numbers and therefore revenue. Rationale The literature suggests the likelihood of increased demand for flexible provision for students employed in full time work needing to upgrade skills or prepare for career changes.
Potential students are already relatively accomplished learners.
The student numbers are relatively small and can be matched by infrastructure development. There is the potential for synergy across the whole Faculty postgraduate provision. The income stream attached to post graduate enrolments can help fund further development. The Faculty undertake a review of our portfolio of postgraduate courses with a view to developing an interlinked system of post graduate qualifications. The current process of School based development of new courses for identified market gaps is slow and intensive of staff time in development and course coordination.
