Changes to programmes
Queen’s is committed to keeping our programmes up to date to ensure that our students receive a current and engaging educational experience within an innovative learning and assessment environment. This commitment means that changes to programmes can occur as part of our normal academic cycle of programme development and review. These changes, which we believe will enhance your degree, are based on many factors, including ensuring each programme remains contemporary and viable; improving the quality of educational services; responding to student and/or external feedback; or meeting the requirements of an accrediting body.
The University will consult with students enrolled on a programme of study before any major programme change is made. The definitions of major programme changes are available at:
http://www.qub.ac.uk/dasa/AcademicAffairs/ProgrammeApprovalandReviewIncludingHEReview/ProgrammeManagement/MajorChangestoExistingProgrammes/
This consultation will be managed through Staff Student Consultative Committees and student representatives on School Education Committees. In all cases where a major change to a programme is made, we will communicate to students affected by the change at the earliest possible opportunity. In most cases, this will be in the academic year before the change happens.
The range and content of optional modules may change over time. Your programme information sets out the optional modules currently available for the programme, but the options listed may not run in any given year. Delivery of optional modules may depend on student demand, staff availability and developments in the subject.
