Programme Revisions
To assure academic quality, programme revision protocols are in place to govern programme changes in different areas:
- Major programme revisions (e.g., termination of programmes, changes to title/award of a degree, study mode and programme duration, etc.) shall require the approval of the Senate via the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC).
- Revisions to the curriculum (e.g., aims, objectives, Programme Intended Learning Outcomes (PILOs), etc.) shall require the approval of the Faculty/School Board.
- Course-level revisions shall require the approval of the Programme Management Committee (PMC) or the Faculty/School Board.
For Sub-degree (SD) programmes, major revisions should route through the relevant Quality Assurance Sub-committees on Sub-degree Programmes (QASCs) responsible for quality monitoring of programmes at Qualifications Framework (QF) Level 4 and QF Levels 1-3 respectively.
All revisions shall be endorsed and approved by the respective authorities in accordance with the following Programme Revision Protocols:
Programme Revision Protocol for HKBU Degrees (Undergradute and Taught Postgraduate levels)
Programme Revision Protocol for BNBU Degrees (Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate levels)
Programme Revision Protocol for HKBU Sub-degrees (QF Level 4)
Programme Revision Protocol for HKBU Sub-degrees (QF Levels 1-3)
