Documentation to explain and support the University's approval procedures for programmes, courses and modules is collected here. Proposals for programmes, courses and modules which are being introduced, modified or withdrawn have to go to the Undergraduate/Postgraduate Studies Committee for approval or notification. The approval process is indicated together with the paperwork required and the information that is added to ISS. Schools can approve certain modifications without having to put forward a proposal in particular circumstances.
