Modules – one in one out
Expectation that new modules will either:
– replace an existing module – be an integral part of a new programme.
Where neither of the above circumstances exist, the School will need to make a case for the module to be approved citing the significant institutional interests served by the module.
Rationale - Curriculum congestion = reduction in student choice and greater staff workload

HTML formatting in Saturnhttp://www.nottingham.ac.uk/courses-office/programmes-team/html-guide2.htm
SaturnWeb is a web based environment. This means that if you are copying text with formatting such as bold, italics or bullet points from a Word document, this formatting will not show in Saturn. Instead you need to use HTML tags to add this formatting.
There are five key tags which I would recommend you use.
So tags consist of a left angle bracket (<), a tag name, and a right angle bracket (>). Tags are usually paired to start and end the tag instruction. The end tag looks just like the start tag except that a slash (/) precedes the text within the brackets.
Use these tags To make text look like or do this
<b>SaturnWeb</b> SaturnWeb
<i>SaturnWeb</i> SaturnWeb
<p>Type text here</p> Puts text into a paragraph
<br>Type text here</br> Puts text on a new line
<li>bullet point<li> • bullet point
