This week the School was involved in the Periodic Review of all its Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes which involves academics from other universities and representatives from all the industry sectors covered by the School. Following an excellent event involving staff and students 6-year approval was awarded to all School Programmes. Particular thanks must go to the students involved who impressed immensely the Panel on Wednesday and were considered a credit to BU and the School.

 In particular the Panel commended ‘active fusion between education, research and professional practice’, ‘integration of guest speakers, visits and field work’, ‘placements/experiential learning/employability and ‘clear and substantial evidence of the commitment of teaching teams to students’.
