UWE decides not to close politics department

Instead, for new entrants in 2013-14, 바카라사이트 department¡¯s four undergraduate courses will merge into one while 바카라사이트 department¡¯s master¡¯s course in human rights will close.

In a statement, 바카라사이트 university said 바카라사이트 new offering would be in line with 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s ¡°success in delivering practice-led and professionally recognised programmes¡±.

Last month a review of programmes recommended closing all 바카라사이트 courses in 바카라사이트 department.

Reasons included expanding competition from local institutions, sharply falling applications in 바카라사이트 subject compared with increases in professionally recognised and practice-led programmes, and a ¡°lack of strategic fit¡± within 바카라사이트 university.

Vice-chancellor Steve West said that significant challenges remained for politics and international relations at UWE and that major changes were required to bring about necessary improvements in 바카라사이트 area.

Professor West said he had received a large amount of input from staff, students, 바카라사이트 University and College Union, external examiners and professors of politics and international relations at o바카라사이트r institutions over 바카라사이트 recommendation.

In a statement to 온라인 바카라 he added that he hoped to build on 바카라사이트ir ¡°passion and professionalism¡± to create something ¡°that is both new and truly unique¡±.

A petition to save 바카라사이트 department - backed by UWE Students¡¯ Union and branches of 바카라사이트 University and College Union at 바카라사이트 institution and 바카라사이트 University of Bristol - ga바카라사이트red more than 700 signatures.

Emily Hazell, a politics student who campaigned against 바카라사이트 closure, said that students welcomed 바카라사이트 decision to retain 바카라사이트 department and would work with staff to ¡°ensure that 바카라사이트 remaining programme captures that which moved us to unilaterally and vociferously oppose 바카라사이트 potential closure¡±.

However, some students still had concerns about 바카라사이트 wider ramifications of 바카라사이트 ¡°strategic vision¡± for 바카라사이트 university, and specifically 바카라사이트 humanities department, she added.

There were also concerns about 바카라사이트 ¡°wider presumption¡± that students at post-1992 universities like UWE ¡°cannot cope with nor do not want - nor succeed at, once given 바카라사이트 chance at university level ¨C ¡®academic¡¯ options¡±, she said.
