Professor Andrew Roberts<\/a>, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, College of Physical Sciences and Engineering celebrates transformative change in our School of Earth and Environmental Sciences.<\/p>\n

The school was awarded\/recognised for transformational changes at our Learning and Teaching Celebration<\/a> on 16 November 2022. Professor Roberts outlines the reasons for this recognition:<\/p>\n

Celebrating and recognising excellence<\/h2>\n

I would like to recognise the transformational changes made by the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences<\/a> to both the school and their degree programmes.<\/p>\n

The changes were initially a response to a growing demand in the sector, particularly for geography programmes. It was also a response the university\u2019s transformation agenda, with the school asked to deliver pedagogic improvements to its Undergraduate programmes and deliver them in a more efficient and cost-effective way.<\/p>\n

It soon became apparent that this requirement was an opportunity for the school to undertake a major reform of the learning and teaching within all degree programmes in the school.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s response was not to tweak its existing programmes, but to start with a blank sheet and to build their programmes afresh \u2013 including the establishment of the new degree programmes.<\/p>\n

Benefits of the changes:<\/p>\n
