A message from Matthew Lee, Director of Centre for Open Studies.
Periodic Subject Review.
Thank you everyone who was able to meet the Panel on 11 and 12 March. The Convener of our Periodic Subject Review Panel – Professor John Briggs, Clerk of Senate –on behalf of the whole Panel expressed his thanks and appreciation; they enjoyed meeting staff, tutors and students over the last 24 hours.
He particularly noted:
- Enthusiasm and drive from staff and students alike
- The commendable flexibility of the programmes, willingness to adapt and to make it possible for students to dip in and out of learning while still getting a rewarding experience
- The capacity of the Centre to meet diverse needs very well
- High levels of support, caring responses to students, and staff supporting each other
He said that their visit had been a “very positive experience” for the Panel.
Obviously we now await the Panel’s report with interest, they will suggest areas for improvement of course, but we can address those from a position of some strength that we have done ourselves justice and that credit has been appropriately given for some splendid work by all of you.
Sincere thanks and congratulations
Matthew Lee
