|||||||||||||||||||||
4.3.1 Development and approval process
4.3.1 Development and approval processDouble degree programs are the combination of two existing QUT degrees where students undertake a single program of study but graduate with parchments for each of the two component degrees. In most cases, double degree programs will be constructed using units and structures already offered in the component degrees. In this case, the abbreviated procedure described in the following paragraphs should be followed. In the case where double degree programs are constructed using units and structures other than those already in the constituent degrees, the provisions of C/4.9.1 for changes with substantial academic implications are used. Faculties will be required to report on double degree programs against the budget at each budget round. (a) Documentation and consultations required Faculties proposing a double degree program should notify the Dean of Studies, Office of Teaching Quality of their intention. The Office of Teaching Quality publishes the information in the email Courses Bulletin. The proposing faculty is expected to proactively interact with interested parties in the development of the course proposal as detailed in C/4.1.3 . Appendix 10(a) should be used as the basis for the Course Plan, which should be a brief proposal of four or five pages covering identifying information, the need and rationale for the course, the consistency of the proposal with established priorities and strategic planning, an outline of the course structure, and the entry policies and articulation arrangements. (b) Approval of the course development, and of the title The course proposal is first considered by the faculty / school advisory committees and the faculty academic boards of each of the proposing faculties, as detailed in the section on faculty committees in C/4.1.3 (f). The faculty forwards the proposal, together with minutes of faculty / school advisory committee and faculty academic board discussions to the Dean of Studies, Office of Teaching Quality. The proposal is considered and approved by University Academic Board. (c) Advertising See C/4.1.3 (j) for QUT policy on course advertising. Modification History
