Programme approval and revalidation
As part of the programme approval and revalidation process, Schools are required to highlight how any new or revalidated programmes aim to develop the employability skills, graduate attributes and future prospects of their students. This can be achieved through the learning, teaching and assessment delivered via the curriculum and by signposting to extracurricular activities alongside their studies.
Programme teams are required to complete an Employability and Graduate Attributes Review as part of the process. As members of the Programme Approval and Revalidation Sub-Committee (PARSC), Student Futures work with Schools and programme teams to review their employability provision and complete the review template.
Watch the short introductory video for a detailed explanation of how the Business Partners can support you with this process.
A dedicated site has been created to support academics going through the process and to help ensure all aspects of employability have been covered in the submission documents.
The site includes:
- Access to the Employability and Graduate Attributes Review template
- Guidance on undertaking a holistic review of your employability provision
- Information on the Graduate Attributes
- Guidance on producing a student-facing Graduate Attributes Map post approval
