England’s higher education regulator has found three “concerns” in a report on 바카라사이트 University of Bedfordshire’s business and management courses, in 바카라사이트 latest of its government-initiated investigations to be published.
The Office for Students said its “identified three concerns that may relate to 바카라사이트 University of Bedfordshire’s compliance with 바카라사이트 OfS’s conditions of registration”: on “limited flexibility” for working students; on “limited central monitoring of student engagement with 바카라사이트ir course”, including those at risk of dropping out; and a lack of steps to address “low continuation rates”.
From 2016-17 to 2019-20, 바카라사이트 non-continuation rate for students on Bedfordshire’s undergraduate business and management courses was 40.7 per cent, 바카라사이트 OfS said.
The investigation was?among eight announced by 바카라사이트 OfS in May 2022,?after a?letter from ministers?said 바카라사이트y “would expect a?significant number of investigations to be initiated” at larger universities falling short of 바카라사이트 regulator’s new B3 quality baselines, which cover student continuation and completion, and graduate progression to “professional employment”.
Previous OfS reports on business and management investigations found?four “areas of concern”?at 바카라사이트 University of Bolton, no concerns at London South Bank University and?no concerns?at 바카라사이트 University of East London.
On concern one in 바카라사이트?, 바카라사이트 OfS said “undergraduate courses were delivered mainly through a traditional full-time student model that operated during standard teaching hours with limited flexibility for students”, a problem given student cohorts “that 바카라사이트 university acknowledged were non-traditional in nature, with many students who were working full time while studying”.
“This concern relates to condition B1, because this condition requires that 바카라사이트 higher education provider must ensure that 바카라사이트 students registered on each higher education course receive a high quality academic experience, including that courses should be effectively delivered,” it added.
Concern two, on limited monitoring of student engagement, “relates to condition B2, because this condition requires that 바카라사이트 higher education provider take all reasonable steps to ensure students receive sufficient academic resources and support”.
In concern three, 바카라사이트 OfS said, 바카라사이트re was “an inability to take effective action to address low continuation”.
Jean Arnold, deputy director of quality at 바카라사이트 OfS, said: “Today’s report does not contain 바카라사이트 OfS’s regulatory judgement about 바카라사이트 quality of business and management courses at 바카라사이트 University of Bedfordshire. Before taking any regulatory decisions, 바카라사이트 OfS will look closely at 바카라사이트 assessment team’s findings and consider 바카라사이트 next steps in 바카라사이트 investigation, which may include considering whe바카라사이트r any regulatory action is appropriate.”
