8. Student Numbers The following provides information that should be considered nominal, and therefore not absolutely rigid, but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience, functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning: Minimum student numbers per stage = approximately 10 Target student numbers per stage = 30 Maximum student numbers per stage = This is determined on an annual basis by SMT

9. Progression Route(s) Approved ‘progression route(s)’ are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme. This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ‘top-up’ to complete a Bachelor degree, but may be employed for other award types. This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award; however progression opportunity, if not available in the first year of application, is guaranteed within 3-years. Progression arrangements with institutions other than University of Plymouth carry an increased element of risk. It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme. For progression to University of Plymouth, should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found. This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University. Students who successfully complete the FdSc Health & Social Care may progress to the Level 6 BSc (Hons) Applied Social Science at Truro and Penwith College.

Students will be considered for other top ups on an individual basis. The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations.

PS2. Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes, Teaching & Learning and Assessment Developing graduate attributes and skills, at any level of HE, is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalized. The interrelated factors of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme. Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important:
