Programme Specifications
A programme specification is a concise description of the intended aims and learning outcomes of a programme of study, detail of how these outcomes can be achieved and demonstrated, and further information including the mode and duration of study, programme-specific regulations and the structure of the programme. They are written for the benefit of: prospective and current students, to provide details additional to those on the Study at BGU page; academic and administrative staff, to provide an outline of how the programme is structured (into a cohesive whole). They can also be useful as a supplement to the transcript for former students. Programme specifications are published for programmes on which students are currently enrolled; previous programme specifications may be available on request, please email the Quality team. Programme specifications are published annually and therefore represent the course structure for each specific academic year of entry. See also: Bishop Grosseteste University's Academic Regulations Governing Taught Qualifications. Please note that programme specifications relate to the course content that is currently being studied at the University. Where it is necessary to withdraw or alter programmes or key parts of programmes at any time, for example, amendments to module titles or module lists, consultation with offer holders and/or students enrolled on the programmes will be undertaken prior to implementation of the changes. -
New Vice Chancellor Starts Today at BGU
A new Vice Chancellor has taken up his post at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln today (Wednesday, 1 May). The Reverend Professor Peter Neil has taken the reins at the university after moving south from the University of the West of Scotland, where he was Interim Executive Dean of the Faculty of Education, Health and Social Sciences. Professor Neil has a distinguished academic record in the fields of education and theology and has been a prominent figure in the world of Scottish higher education. “I have been looking forward to coming to Lincoln for months now but nothing could have prepared me for the very warm welcome to the city and for the overwhelming support which has been shown to me on campus,” said Professor Neil. “The university is in a very strong position, having reached many landmarks in the last year. We need to be prepared, however, not to rest on our laurels, to look for new opportunities and to face inevitable challenges as we move on into the next phase in our story. “I am delighted to be part of this institution at this particular time and feel that we, as a team of staff and students, are well equipped to take BGU further as a university.” Professor Neil was born on the Isle of Bute on the west coast of Scotland. After working as a teacher of modern languages in Scotland he moved to Belfast where he became a senior lecturer in Education at Queen’s University Belfast. Whilst at Queen’s he completed a PhD in Education and began studying theology. In 2003 he took up the role of director of Education and Lifelong learning at Aberystwyth University, subsequently returning to his native Scotland as Head of the School of Education at the University of the West of Scotland. With a wide range of research interests centred on education and on theology Professor Neil has written books on language teaching, Continuous Professional Development and teacher mentoring. He has researched topics ranging from language education to school leadership and ordinary theology, publishing in academic journals and speaking at international conferences. Professor Neil succeeds Professor Muriel Robinson who retired last week after almost ten years in charge of BGU.
