Education Programmes Board

The Education Programmes Board (EPB) is established by the Senate as a sub-board of the Education and Student Experience Board (ESEB).

EPB provides institutional oversight and assurance for the academic development, approval, and amendment, suspension, and withdrawal of taught programmes and modules. The Board’s remit covers all taught provision considered through the University’s programme and module approval arrangements.

* the 25 November meeting has a closed agenda that is reserved for a specific set of programmes.

Meetings will take place 1400-1700 on these dates in hybrid format (in-person and MS Teams) unless otherwise stated.

Completed submissions must be made in Curriculum Manager no fewer than 15 working days in advance of a meeting. Submission is not a guarantee that the proposal will be considered at the next meeting, and proposers should discuss scheduling with Quality and Standards at an early stage.
