Appendix 1 - Template for the Self-Evaluation Document for Full Internal Review

The Self-Evaluation Document (SED) should provide a strategic review of the programme(s) under review (taught and research), to assess whether their objectives are being achieved and whether current practice can be improved and enhanced. The SED should identify both strengths and weaknesses of the provision and should be based on previous annual programme reports (produced since the last internal review). You should also place your Department’s practices in a wider College context, by referring to key College documents: Common Awards Scheme, College’s Learning and Teaching Strategy, College's Quality Assurance/Enhancement Code of Practice and Postgraduate Training and Research for the MPhil and PhD Degrees College Code of Practice. In certain sections of the SED you should also relate your provision to relevant QAA Subject benchmark statements (where available).

Please ensure that the completed SED focuses on self-evaluation and analysis, as well as highlighting any difficulties that the panel might be able to assist with (download here a complete word version of the Self-Evaluation Document template).
