From an average intake of 15 students each year, approximately 7 generally proceed to doctoral research. Learning Support All students are members of a College as well as the Faculty and have access to learning support from both College and University. Each student has an overall supervisor who gives advice on planning the year's work. Progress is monitored through supervision and through the completion of Part One. The Academic Secretary of the MPhil Sub-Committee can also offer advice. The College Tutor for Graduates also plays a role in induction, support and guidance. An MPhil Handbook is available. The Faculty's learning resources include the Seeley Library, Britain's largest library solely dedicated to history, with a wide range of relevant periodicals. The University's holdings in modern European history are particularly fine and there is a very rich and varied seminar and workshop culture. Evaluating and improving the quality and standards of learning The Faculty participates in the University's quality assurance and enhancement system. 1. At the beginning of Lent Term, the MPhil Sub-Committee monitors the progress of all students. 2. All dissertations are read by two examiners other than the supervisor. All dissertations with seriously discrepant marks are sent to a third reader. 3. External Examining: the MPhil in Modern European History has an External Examiner who submits a report which is considered by the MPhil Sub-Committee, the Degree Committee, the Faculty Board and the University s Board of Graduate Studies. The External Examiner s Report is also seen by the Director of Graduate Training. The External Examiner normally reads a number of intermediate essays in his own field of expertise. He or she normally also examines a number of final dissertations in his or her field and scrutinises a number of other dissertations across the whole range of marks awarded. 4. The MPhil Sub-Committee solicits formal feedback statements (in the form of questionnaires) from the students taking the course; these are forwarded to the external examiner and to the Director of Graduate Training. A summary of feedback results is incorporated in the Academic Secretary's annual report to the Degree Committee. 5. Student feedback is also considered by the Graduate Teaching and Learning Committee, which includes student representatives from each MPhil and may make recommendations to the Degree Committee. 6. Responsibility for executing any policy proposals arising from the external examiner's report or from student feedback lies with the Academic Secretary of the MPhil and the Director of Graduate Training. 7. The approval of the Degree Committee, the Board of Graduate Studies and the Education Committee of the General Board must be obtained before any major revisions or adjustments to the MPhil programme and its delivery are carried out. 8. General Board review: all History Faculty MPhils, including the MPhil in Modern European History, were reviewed by the University's General Board in Page 5 of 6
