ANNUAL REVIEW 2010 – 2011 Welcome to the 2010/11 Writtle College Annual Review.

The past year has been an especially rewarding one for our students and staff with investment in new campus facilities and a resounding endorsement in the quality of our higher education provision from the Quality Assurance Agency. Ensuring that Writtle is a distinctive place to serve the environment through science and the arts remains at the heart of our strategic agenda. Our university level programmes and further education provision have continued to attract strong growth in recruitment with students graduating to embark on successful careers. It’s been a year of significant change within the education sector with the announcement of increased fees for future students. We conducted extensive research through focus groups with students, staff and external stakeholders as well as our Governors to reach a conclusion on our fee level for 2012. Agreed by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA), the £8k fee is competitive whilst also reflecting the high quality of provision at Writtle with degrees awarded by our partner, the University of Essex. Underpinning our academic credentials, the College has seen a fourfold increase in the number of PhD students joining our research community with 20 active projects underway and proposals received for a further 10 to commence during the next academic year. The focus is on applied research, connected to industry and delivering outputs that are relevant now. We are building an especially high profile in the areas of animal and equine science, postharvest and conservation. In order to ensure that our students have appropriate facilities for their studies, we published our new Estates Strategy, approved by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Work commenced on the £1million refurbishment project of the existing countryside building to create a new centre for our animal science students. Additionally, the pig unit was restocked and refurbished to allow greater emphasis on research with a brand new sow house opening, marking a £200k investment. Pastoral care for our students is a priority and during the 2010/11 year we have strengthened further the link between the Student Union and the College’s higher and further education management teams to ensure that we meet student expectations and provide a nurturing and rewarding experience. This has already resulted in some positive changes including a review of our catering provision and the opening of a new Multi Faith space on campus. We hope you will enjoy reading more about the progress over the past academic year on the following pages.
