Strategy & Projects
Our strategy addresses education design, delivery and assessment, while ensuring equality of opportunity for all students in the faculty. We aim to work together to develop a forward-looking, blended education and develop an evidence-base for what works.
Our specific aims are:
- To emerge from Covid with a forward-looking, blended-by-design approach to education in Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
- To embed evidence-based pedagogical approaches within all programmes, using and learning from best practice in the sector.
- To promote partnership in education design and delivery: professional services + academic staff; student + staff; early career + experienced staff; faculty + department.
- To employ authentic, innovative and fair assessment methods within all programmes, ensuring diversity of assessment types.
- To ensure equality of opportunity for all students, through effective education and assessment design and fostering a sense of belonging from induction until graduation.
We are expanding our strategies and projects to meet the needs of the Faculty and Deparments.
