A programme specification is a concise description of the intended learning outcomes for the programme and the means by which these outcomes will be achieved. It is primarily a mechanism for enabling students to understand what a programme will enable them to achieve when they graduate and the way in which these achievements are facilitated by the learning, teaching and assessment strategies and methods on offer.
Programme specifications are also intended to help potential students in making a decision about what and where to study. As such, they set out some of the key features of our each of our programmes.
A programme specification is not intended to be the primary source of information for students, potential students, employers or other external stakeholders. The programme specification is supplemented by more detailed information available for a variety of audiences and in a range of formats including the St George's, University of London website, published prospectuses, handbooks, programme guides and course outlines, many of which are available online.
Programme specifications are also an important component of our internal quality assurance procedures. They are approved by expert panels, updated each year and regularly reviewed.
