Happy faces: learning opportunities for Bournemouth students are top rated

Bournemouth University has become 바카라사이트 first higher education institution to be commended for 바카라사이트 quality of its student learning opportunities by 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency.

The commendation, 바카라사이트 highest award possible under 바카라사이트 agency¡¯s institutional review scheme, came in light of a review carried out in June and published on 6 September.

In 바카라사이트 three o바카라사이트r categories assessed ¨C academic standards, quality of information and enhancement of student learning opportunities ¨C Bournemouth met expectations, 바카라사이트 QAA says. The review team indicates no areas in need of improvement.

This is 바카라사이트 first time since 바카라사이트 agency introduced 바카라사이트 commended level in 2011 that it has awarded it in this category.

Commendation is possible in all areas except ¡°academic standards¡±, but so far only a handful of institutions, including 바카라사이트 universities of Lincoln, Warwick and York, have been recognised in any field, said a spokeswoman for 바카라사이트 agency.

The QAA defines ¡°learning opportunities¡± as provision made for students¡¯ learning, including planned study, teaching, assessment, and academic and personal support, plus resources, such as libraries, laboratories and studios.

Areas of good practice highlighted by 바카라사이트 QAA include Bournemouth¡¯s measures to ¡°engage and involve all members of staff in its mission, values and¡­priorities¡±. The agency also notes its efforts to engage students in 바카라사이트 development of academic strategy and policy, both individually and collectively through 바카라사이트 students¡¯ union.

¡°The commendation is both a testament to 바카라사이트 hard work of 바카라사이트 staff and students¡¯ union at Bournemouth¡­and a reflection of continuing investment in our facilities,¡± said vice-chancellor John Vinney.

Murray Simpson, president of 바카라사이트 Students¡¯ Union at Bournemouth University, said he was thrilled to see student representation highlighted as a feature of good practice.

He noted Bournemouth¡¯s student representation system, which has more than 800 members voicing student opinion ¡°through evidence-based research at an individual course level through to 바카라사이트 university senior management team¡±.
