The Committee remit is to:

  • Oversee and evaluate each recruitment and admissions cycle
  • Discuss and approve changes to recruitment, admissions, scoring, and interview procedures.
  • Form the overall UG strategy for recruitment, both nationally and internationally
  • Actively work for widening participation in all areas (e.g. Flag/Flag Plus, BAME, returning learners, Foundation years) onto the programme according to University of Edinburgh targets
  • Approve UG applicants if leniency is to be applied (when allowed by central University guidelines)
  • Oversee new international partnerships feeding onto the BVM&S graduate entry programme by approving curriculum mapping (conducted by short-life working groups) and new international partnership before sending for further approval.
  • Feed into the R(D)SVS School Executive Team, seeking approval and support for A&R activities
  • Feed into the R(D)SVS Learning & Teaching Committee to inform the wider teaching teams of predicted student numbers to allow for advanced planning
The Committee meets twice per year in person and is also available via Teams.  Any urgent matter arising is dealt with using electronic business.  The committee reports to the School Executive Team.
