University of Ulster ULSTER UNIVERSITY REPORT OF A MEETING OF THE EVALUATION PANEL UNIT 4A1: MSc PLANNING AND CITY RESILIENCE (FT/PT) (JN/DL) 30 January 2020 PRESENT: Professor Ruth Fee, Associate Dean Education, Faculty of Art, Humanities and Social Sciences, Ulster University (Chair) Dr John Sturzaker, Discipline Lead for Planning, Department of Geography & Planning, University of Liverpool Dr Neil Harris, Senior Lecturer, School of Geography and Planning, Cardiff University Dr John Cathcart, Lecturer, School of Health Sciences, Ulster University IN ATTENDANCE: Mrs A Guarino, Academic Policy and Standards Officer, Academic Office, Ulster University 1 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND The Panel was convened to consider the provision of Master of Science in Planning and City Resilience. The proposed course is a new specialist programme primarily focused on the role of planning in terms of strengthening the ability of society to adapt to, and mitigate for, the anticipated impacts of contemporary social (e.g. demographic change), economic (e.g. enhancing city/region competitiveness) and environmental (e.g. climate change) challenges. In doing so, the programme embraces a range of topics that relate to the conceptual and practical issues involved in building resilient cities. The MSc Planning and City Resilience programme was designed to appeal to both the local and international markets and will be delivered in both distance learning and campus-based blended learning modes to help widen access and participation. The provision was designed to be equally appealing to those working in allied or unrelated professions and will provide a genuine postgraduate option for a wide range of graduates from the Belfast School of Architecture and the Built Environment and across the university. The course team have liaised with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and will be seeking accreditation of the programme as a ‘combined’ postgraduate planning degree programme. The proposed provision will be delivered in Jordanstown and fully online in full-time and part time modes and will be offered from September 2020. The full-time mode will normally be taught over 3 semesters of study and the part-time mode over 6 semesters of study. Each student will complete six 20 credit point modules (five of which are compulsory and one optional from a choice of four) and a compulsory 60 credit point Dissertation module. 1 | Page There are two exit awards associated with the programme. A PgCert may be awarded to students who successfully complete 60 credit points. A PgDip may be awarded to students who successfully complete 120 credit points. The MSc would be awarded after subsequent satisfactory completion of the 60 credit-point dissertation (180 credit points total). Assessment Rubrics The Panel noted that assessment rubrics were not provided in the course document. Minimum and Maximum Student Cohort Size Projected Intake as presented to the Panel in the meeting: Year of 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 Course Year 1 15 (0DL) 26 (10DL) 40 (16DL) 50 (18DL) 53 (24DL) 2 DOCUMENTATION The Panel received the following documentation: • Agenda and programme of the meeting; • Course submission; • Guidelines for Evaluation Panels; • Curriculum Design at Ulster; • QAA Subject Benchmark statement: Town and Country Planning (2016) • RTPI Policy Statement on Initial Planning Education (2012); • Preliminary comments from panel members; and • Reports from central University departments on Library and IT resource matters. 3 MEETING WITH SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM The Panel met with the Senior Management Team comprising: Dr Michaela Keenan, Associate Dean (Education) of the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment, Professor Neil Hewitt, Head of Belfast School of Architecture and the Built Environment, Dr Neale Blair, Associate Head of Belfast School of Architecture and the Built Environment, and Dr Linda McElduff, Chair of the Course Planning Committee. 3.1 Provision Context The Panel expressed how impressed they were with this interesting and unique provision and with how it met real market needs, and asked how the provision sat within the Faculty and the School’s context. The senior team discussed the structure of the Belfast School of Architecture and the Built Environment, explaining that although it was currently located on the Jordanstown campus it was expected to move to Belfast within one and a half years. The senior team described the student composition of the school, emphasising that around 90% of their over 1,300 students were undergraduate MaSN students. The senior team mentioned the School’s vast experience in running postgraduate programmes, many of which were fully online and 2 | Page explained how distance learning was well established within the Faculty, which had extensive experience of delivering online programmes dating back many years. The senior team advised the Panel of numerous programmes which were being offered fully online and of the mechanisms for online delivery (such as the use of e-tutors, online work groups etc.) which have been well tried and tested. The MSc Planning and City Resilience was described by the senior team as timely. The senior team had recently looked at offering provisions in the areas of planning, environmental health and energy storage as these sat well with staff expertise, employer’s demand and the University’s internationalisation agenda. 3.2 Projected Student Numbers In response to the Panel’s query regarding student numbers, the senior team discussed the decision made by the School not to offer the distance learning mode in the first year of the programme due to marketing considerations. A campus-based cohort will be taught in Jordanstown in the first instance, with expected recruitment of students from the United Kingdom and Ireland, and a modest number of one or two overseas students. The Panel noted that the student numbers presented by the course team were conservative and were expected to grow over the first five years of delivery. The senior team assured the Panel that due to that fact that many of the modules in the provision would be shared with other programmes, efficiency of delivery was assured. The senior team reached the student number estimates using market intelligence provided by the University along with consultations with the Industrial Liaison Panel of the undergraduate provision, which specifically showed interest in the part-time and distance learning modes. Student numbers would also be supported by the provision’s uniqueness, with only one similar programme currently offered in the United Kingdom by the University of Kent. Following a request for further clarification by the Panel, the senior team explained that they would only expect one or two overseas students to come to Northern Ireland in the first year of delivery, and that they would rely on Ulster University's marketing department to promote the provision internationally once it is approved, adding that the title had been revised to be attractive within the international space. 3.3 International Study Visit The Panel asked for further information regarding the international study visit, which was part of the assessment of the International City Planning and Development Module. The senior team explained that although distance learning students would have the option of participation, they would not be required to join, assuring the Panel that the module contained an alternative piece of assessment to accommodate this. The Panel were assured that any additional cost incurred by students participating in the visit would be clearly advertised. 3 | Page 4 MEETING WITH COURSE TEAM 4.1 Student Experience The team assured the Panel that the course was designed to ensure all cohorts would have an engaging and positive experience, with specific attention given to ensuring alignment of the experience of both the distance learning and the campus-based cohorts. The team provided the Panel with examples to illustrate how this synchronised experience would be achieved. The lecture content for both modes of delivery will be the same, both followed by discussions. While in the distance learning cohort, lectures will be followed up with online discussion using such technologies as live chats and discussion boards, the campus-based cohort’s discussions will take place pace-to-face. The team described their active student society, which provides a strong sense of identity and community within the University’s planning programmes. The campus-based students would be able to join the society which would allow them to meet regularly with other members as well as attend events and talks at their dedicated space, the Urban Planning Studio. Distance learning students will be invited to join the society and participate in planned events, which will also be recorded and made available online. The team will also provide the distance learning cohort, which will not normally have access to the Urban Planning Studio, with an online virtual studio, where notifications, posters and events will be shared. 4.2 International Study Visit The team confirmed, in response to the Panel’s request for further information relating to the international study trip, that students would have to pay for their participation. The team explained that a similar international study visit was already successfully conducted as part of an existing UG programme, explaining that they have always been upfront with the students regarding additional personal cost, giving the example of this year’s

  • The Centre for Integrated Research Into Musculoskeletal Ageing
    The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing www.cimauk.org Photograph by Lindsay Mackenzie (2nd Runner Up - Newcastle University Student Competition) The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing Introduction Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and age-related decline in function of musculoskeletal tissues (bones, joints, tendons and muscles) are major contributors to loss of independence and poor quality of life in older people. The Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA) is a collaboration between researchers and clinicians at the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield that brings together complementary and outstanding expertise in skeletal muscle, bone, cartilage and tendon biology, ageing research, nutrition and exercise interventions and clinical excellence in musculoskeletal disorders. The Centre is developing an integrated approach to understanding the processes and effects of ageing in tissues of the musculoskeletal system, how ageing contributes to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and how these processes may be ameliorated or prevented. This Centre of Excellence brings together researchers from 3 leading UK Universities to build on current world-leading research to understand why our bones, joints and muscles function less well as we age and why older people develop clinical diseases of these musculoskeletal tissues, such as arthritis or osteoporosis. The Centre is investigating new ways of preventing the deterioration of the musculoskeletal tissues that occur as we age to help preserve mobility and independence in older people. CIMA was funded by an initial grant of £2.5M from the Medical Research Council and Arthritis Research UK commencing June 2012 together with substantial investment in new posts by the Universities of Liverpool, Newcastle and Sheffield.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof
    Written evidence submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) Submission to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee’s Inquiry into Economics of Streaming From May 2020, an independent academic research team of Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) have been conducting an independent research project to investigate music creators’ earnings in the digital age. The project is funded by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and NESTA’s Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) and supported by a Steering Board of industry stakeholders including the Ivors Academy, the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), the Musicians’ Union (MU), PRS for Music, the Association of Independent Music (AIM). Other industry stakeholders have also been invited to join the board. The aim of the research is to deliver independent and robust evidence on how changes in the digital music marketplace have impacted upon the earnings of music creators and therefore facilitate an informed debate. In this research, we define music creators as an overarching term to describe recording artists and songwriters. The impetus of this project stems from the lack of evidence in this contentious area of research, which in return has led to a polarised debate based on anecdotes and perceptions. The music creator community argue that the lion’s share of streaming revenues goes to major labels and that this business model is based on the reward system created in the pre-digital era. The recorded industry however argues that there should be greater recognition of the significant and risky investment they continue to make in artist development and marketing.

    Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Conference 2019 Disability Studies: Past, Present and Future Book of abstracts CDS Leeds #CDSPGConf19 1 Keynote Presentation by Professor Roger Slee Title: Writing fiction – the case of inclusive education and students with disabilities. Notwithstanding espoused commitment to UNCRPD (2006) by education jurisdictions around the world, the educational experiences of children and young people with disabilities do not live up to the promise of inclusive education. Recent reviews of education for students with disabilities in Australia collectively build a narrative of exclusion. Educational exclusion is a stubborn foe. This address will attempt to move beyond critique to identify levers for building the capacity of schools to build inclusive educational cultures. Biography: Roger Slee is the Vice-Chancellor’s appointment to Chair of Education at the University of South Australia. He has previously held research chairs at The University of Western Australia, Goldsmiths College University of London, Victoria University and the Institute of Education UCL where he was the Chair of Inclusive Education. Roger is the former Dean of Education at Goldsmiths, The University of Western Australia and Magill. He holds an honorary chair in critical studies in education at The University of Auckland in New Zealand. He is currently working on major inclusive education projects in Ethiopia and Queensland. Roger is the Founding Editor of the International Journal of Inclusive Education and is on the Editorial Boards of many other journals. He is also the Editor of an important book series published by Sense Publishers. This Series ‘Studies in Inclusive Education’ focuses on the ways in which schools contribute to the failure of different student identities on the basis of gender, race, language, sexuality, disability, socio-economic status and geographic isolation.
