The Arts & Sciences strategy was being developed alongside the Education Strategy, and was intended to be an integrated Strategy for research, innovation, internationalisation and education. 5.3 Reported by the Representative from the School of Arts & Humanities: (i) That particular areas of interest for Arts and Sciences included the mix of discipline-specific and inter-disciplinary teaching; relationships with cultural organisations based in London; the management of collaborative programmes; and the need to undertake a structured review of the education portfolio to ensure a sustainable offering centred on the needs of students; (ii) that it was intended that the strategy would identify how the School planned to attract the very best students and achieve the School s widening participation objectives; (iii) that the objectives identified for learning and teaching included objectives relating to technology-enhanced learning and research-led teaching; (iv) that the strategy would also encompass preparation for Arts & Humanities students for life after study. 5.4 Noted: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) That the School of Social Sciences & Public Policy were at an early stage in the consideration of their future strategy; the School was focussing at this stage on academic governance structures; that the School of Law had now appointed a new Dean.

4 (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) (xi) (xii) areas such as personal tutoring, teaching support and student engagement; that the Institute of Psychiatry was developing an overarching strategy together with a postgraduate taught student-specific strategy; the Committee recognised the importance of a strategic approach applicable to all students, including postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students. Applying different approaches at undergraduate and postgraduate level for technology enhanced learning would be considered as the support needs for students at the different levels were different; that the Institute of Dentistry was looking at its Education Strategy, in the context of its regulatory environment. The Institute had developed its practice for the use of KEATS as an online support system; that the School of Nursing and Midwifery was focussing on research-led teaching in the development of its strategy. It would also focus on service user involvement in the delivery of its curriculum, as required by health regulators; that the School of Medicine was developing its education strategy with a view to supporting its mission to education students to be ready to work in a medical environment. Part of the focus of the strategy was to align academic leadership and professional services support; that the School of Biomedical Sciences strategy was intended to focus on the distinctiveness of the King s offering in this area, and in particular supporting the culture of aligning teaching and research excellence. The NSS results showed the need to ensure that Schools focussed on detail in the development of supportive cultures for students; that in the development of individual School strategies it would be important to ensure cohesive structures and consistent presentation. 5.5 Reported by the Head of the Library Services and Employability: that the Library had undertaken a survey of academic skills support (defined as support for students in developing skills for learning) to identify gaps and overlaps in the provision offered by the College. One clear area for attention was numeracy support. 6. STUDENT SURVEYS NSS Received: a report on the College s response to the NSS 2013 results(cec: 13/14: 5).

5 (ii) closed, and produced action plans on further short and medium term plans.

One recommendation from the review would be for the timetabling unit to have greater responsibility for managing the use of the College estate. 6.3 Reported by the Director of Library Services and Employability: (i) That, the Library had implemented standardised library opening hours across the campus libraries. There would be further analysis of the requirements for nursing and midwifery examinations; (ii) that, where under 80% of students within a Department had expressed dissatisfaction with book stock, the Library would be reviewing stock in that area, and working with colleagues over the production of reading lists to ensure that expectations were appropriately managed as well as ensuring that the stock of books was up to date; (iii) that the Library would also be analysing its use of space and other environmental issues; (iv) that the Careers Services would be considering the provision of careers advise within BMS and the School of Medicine; the College would consider using the NSS optional bank of questions relating to careers advice for the 2014 survey. 6.4 Reported by the President of the Students Union: that the Students Union were analysing the reasons for the significant drop in satisfaction ratings during 2013, and particularly the provision for welfare support and careers support.
