Faculty Taught Student Education Committees
Faculty Taught Student Education Committees are responsible for the quality and standard of the school's student education provision, quality assurance procedures, developing student education policy and identifying, implementing and sharing good practice.
The Faculty Taught Student Education Committee (FTSEC) reports to the Taught Student Education Board, and is responsible at Faculty level for:
- assuring the quality of taught programmes
- quality assurance procedures and developing student education policy
- directly overseeing and monitoring programme and module review and the managing and assuring of the quality of student education provision
- considering outcomes of external and professional, statutory and regulatory body (PSRB) reviews and subsequent action by the school
- developing, identifying and sharing good practice.

FTSEC subgroups
Each FTSEC establishes a subgroup of members to take particular responsibility for issues relating to one School or area within the Faculty. Membership of the subgroups may vary according to Faculty needs.
The FTSEC subgroup gives detailed consideration to new programmes through the Programme Approval Group (PAG) and participates in Student Academic Experience Reviews (SAERs), making reports and recommendations to the FTSEC as appropriate.
