All programmes at the University of Bristol should go through an Annual Programme Review (APR).
Each year a school should gather feedback on its taught and research programmes from students, staff and external examiners. Any reflections or reports on individual units should also be taken into account, together with statistical information such as student progression rates, proportions of degrees awarded by classification, etc. All these elements should then be discussed at a school meeting and a summary report written - the APR. This report should outline the positive features of the programme(s) and any action/s to be taken.
APR reports should be sent to the Education Support Unit (at apr-admin@bristol.ac.uk), who will ensure that the FQET and Faculty Office also receive a copy.
The deadline for submission of the reports is 31st January.
APR reports are considered by the relevant FQET during its interactions with the school. They should also be used to inform the production of a self-evaluation document for School Review, (as well as being included as an annex to the self-evaluation document).
When a school, faculty or FQET feel that a more in depth review of a programme or group of programmes is required the Programme Review Group is convened on an ad-hoc basis.
