5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

82 ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION PROCESS

The majority of your assessments should be submitted via email to your module leader or via the VLE (Moodle) by the time specified on the assessment brief For hard copy submissions (such as log books portfolios and posters) you will be given the exact time and location of the submission

For some of your assessments you may be required to submit your work to anti- plagiarism software such as Turnitinreg

Turnitin is an Internet-based originality checking tool which allows documents to be compared with content on the Internet in journals and in an archive of previously submitted works It can help to detect unintentional or deliberate plagiarism

It is a formative tool that makes it easy for students to review their citations and referencing as an aid to learning good academic practice Turnitin produces an lsquooriginality reportrsquo which may be necessary to be attached to your coursework and your tutors will advise you on how to access and use Turnitin where required for your studies To learn more about Turnitin go to wwwsubmitacuk

This is a useful academic development tool it is not that we think you are cheating You will be informed when this is a requirement and given the appropriate training to enable you to do so

83 SUBMISSION DEADLINESRemember that deadlines are deadlines and they should always be met If a piece of work is up to 24hours late a maximum mark of 40 will be awarded Work that is more than 24 hours late will be given a zero If however there are extenuating circumstances you should let your programme manager know as soon as possible

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

5 Programme Details

51 Enhancement ActivitiesThe course includes the opportunity to gain MCA and RYA recognised qualifications

There are many and varied activities to help you gain the sea miles and the experience that you will need These are based on yachts and get you the miles that you need for your RYA Yachtmaster practical in the 1st year and in the 2nd year the miles and experience that you need for your RYA Oceanmaster practical They are weather and learner dependant so the route is hardly ever the same

An important aspect of this degree is its vocational nature All students are encouraged to seek relevant employment or placement during their studies ndash that is why the actual lsquoteachingrsquo timetable leaves you with some free time during the week But additionally many of the modules have vocational elements such as practical experience visits to and from individuals and organisations in your vocational area and simulations

Rather than separating work related learning into a separate module the college has a policy of embedding work related activities across the programme This means ensuring that there is a range of experiences which relate closely to employment and work such as visits visiting speakers practicalrsquos in simulated situations This ensures that students have a very rich environment in which to develop their skills and observe others working

Students of Cornwall College are encouraged to develop their PDPs in a variety of ways The tutorial system where programme leaders act as personal tutors and see their tutees on a regular basis clearly feeds into the principles of PDP At the end of each module students are encouraged to review what they have learnt and how it might contribute to their employability and their personal development And there is a similar end of term and end of year review conducted by the tutor

10 from Level 4 ndash calculated from the highest achieved 80 credits Where modules are arranged in such a way that the 80 credits of lsquohighest module marksrsquo cannot be identified unequivocally the average for the best 70 credits and 90 credits will be calculated and the student given the best advantage

30 from Level 5

60 from Level 6

If you progress onto Level 5 of a programme at Plymouth University then 10 (of the highest achieved 80 credits or where modules are arranged in such a way that the 80 credits of lsquohighest module marksrsquo cannot be identified unequivocally the average for the best 70 credits and 90 credits will be calculated and the student given the best advantage) will come from your level 4 marks studied previously 30 of your level 5 aggregate mark will be drawn from the level 5 modules studied at Plymouth University and then 60 from your level 6 aggregate mark at Plymouth University

Graduation and ResultsTCCG graduation for all university level students is held in November In regards to your results and certificates you will receive a transcript of results 10 working days after the award board meetings have taken place When we receive your certificates from your awarding body they will then be sent out to your home address which is why itrsquos important to keep your contact details up to date and correct

Your performance in a module will be assessed during the academic year normally through a combination of coursework and end of year examinations You must pass the assessments in order to be credited with that module for your award In addition some modules may have to be passed as pre-requisites for others taken later in your programme

The method of assessment varies between modules and your lecturers will advise you of the method(s) to be used This reflects the need to develop a range of different knowledge understanding and skills During your programme you may experience some or all of the following types of assessment

Coursework essay questions

Coursework essay questions Coursework group reports Coursework case study problems Group presentations Individual presentations Practical work Formal examinations Online assessments Portfolios Independent research projects Individual reflective reports logbooks

If you think that you should receive any modified assessment provision you must notify your module leaders and programme manager as soon as possible This will be discussed on an individual basis and it is your responsibility to discuss with your programme manager

In all cases these are chosen and designed to assess your achievement of the particular learning outcomes for the module You will be given Assessment Criteria which are used to judge the extent of your achievement

Please note that ALL assessment marks and results are provisional until confirmed by the Subject Assessment Panel and verified by the Award Assessment Board If you do well enough ie you average a mark of over 70 over all your modules at the end of your programme then you will qualify for the award of a HNC or Foundation Degree with distinction You should note marks of 70 and over are awarded for outstanding work only

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS11 Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme LeaderManager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth Universityrsquos annual programme monitoring process (APM) as titled at the time of approval APM culminates in the production maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme LeaderManager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

7 Teaching Learning and Assessment A range of assessment modes are used across your programme Formative assessment is used to support your development of academic skills You are strongly advised to make the most of formative assessment opportunities

Your performance in a module will be assessed during the academic year normally through a combination of coursework and end of year examinations You must pass the assessments in order to be credited with that module for your award In addition some modules may have to be passed as pre-requisites for others taken later in your programme

The method of assessment varies between modules and your lecturers will advise you of the method(s) to be used This reflects the need to develop a range of different knowledge understanding and skills During your programme you may experience some or all of the following types of assessment

Coursework essay questions

Coursework essay questions Coursework group reports Coursework case study problems Group presentations Individual presentations Practical work Formal examinations Online assessments Portfolios Independent research projects Individual reflective reports logbooks

If you think that you should receive any modified assessment provision you must notify your module leaders and programme manager as soon as possible This will be discussed on an individual basis and it is your responsibility to discuss with your programme manager

In all cases these are chosen and designed to assess your achievement of the particular learning outcomes for the module You will be given Assessment Criteria which are used to judge the extent of your achievement

Please note that ALL assessment marks and results are provisional until confirmed by the Subject Assessment Panel and verified by the Award Assessment Board If you do well enough ie you average a mark of over 70 over all your modules at the end of your programme then you will qualify for the award of a HNC or Foundation Degree with distinction You should note marks of 70 and over are awarded for outstanding work only

Please reference the Benchmarking Skills Map within the Programme Specification for further details on how the teaching learning and assessments are achieved within each module

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

86 External Examiner ArrangementsEach programme has an External Examiner who comes from a Higher Education Institution in the UK (not Plymouth University) The Subject External Examiner is primarily concerned with the standards of assessment of the subject and therefore attends the subject assessment panel They will verify the process of assessment throughout your modules advise upon re-assessment (in your teaching learning and assessment handbook) Your final result is decided by an Examination Board which happens in JuneJuly followed by resit boards in September

You can find your External Examiner reports online through the Plymouth student portal under the tabs lsquoYour Learning Your External Examinerrsquo

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS11 Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme LeaderManager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth Universityrsquos annual programme monitoring process (APM) as titled at the time of approval APM culminates in the production maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme LeaderManager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

86 External Examiner ArrangementsEach programme has an External Examiner who comes from a Higher Education Institution in the UK (not Plymouth University) The Subject External Examiner is primarily concerned with the standards of assessment of the subject and therefore attends the subject assessment panel They will verify the process of assessment throughout your modules advise upon re-assessment (in your teaching learning and assessment handbook) Your final result is decided by an Examination Board which happens in JuneJuly followed by resit boards in September

You can find your External Examiner reports online through the Plymouth student portal under the tabs lsquoYour Learning Your External Examinerrsquo

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS11 Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme LeaderManager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth Universityrsquos annual programme monitoring process (APM) as titled at the time of approval APM culminates in the production maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme LeaderManager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

9 Student Feedback91 Student Representation and Enhancement

Student representation for each stage of the programme is made through programme committee membership which should also reflect on enhancement activities and their impact and sustainability Furthermore programme committee meetings are not considered quorate without student representation

Information for students on the importance of course representation has been developed in partnership with the students along with the course representation cycle Other useful resources are available within the UPSU partner college pages

In addition to student presence through programme committee membership it is noted that students also have representation though the Student Unions of both institutions

92 Student Perception SurveysThe National Student Survey (NSS) and Plymouth Universityrsquos Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) offer the opportunity for the Student Voice to be gathered from students individually Additionally there may be local methods for collating survey feedback on individual modules

Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and National Student Survey (NSS)

All students on Plymouth University courses in partner colleges are given the opportunity to complete a questionnaire (SPQ) between January and March in the first year of their programmes The questionnaire is arranged under a range of headings the answers to which give us student views on how effectively we support their learning experience these include teaching assessment and feedback academic support learning resources personal development opportunities Student responses are used only in statistical form to produce a subject level report and to enable comparative data to be prepared at faculty level

In addition students are asked to participate in the National Student Survey (NSS) at the end of their programme Both of these provide valuable information to enable staff to improve programmes and the learning experience

What is the Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) and what is it for

to give students the chance to tell us what they feel about their experience of teaching and learning at the Cornwall College

to allow us to identify those issues that are perceived by students as affecting their education either positively or negatively

to provide us with a University-wide perspective and to enable staff to prioritise our actions to improve the quality of the educational experience at Cornwall College

23 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

What does the survey achieve

At subject level you can expect the findings of the SPQ to be discussed at staff-student liaison groups and Programme Committee Meetings within the college A related Action Plan is prepared to address students concerns and this is in turn linked to the Universityrsquos Quality Assurance process addressed through formal meetings between the University and the college The Director of Higher Education (HE) will review the questionnaire results with senior managers and programme teams as appropriate

What is the National Student Survey (NSS) and what does it mean to me

This national survey is designed to provide information on how universities support the student learning experience It provides vital information to prospective students and their advisers to help them make an informed choice on what they want to study and where they should study it The results are shown on the national Unistats website (wwwunistatsacuk)

The survey is an important tool both at national level and within the University ndash it is seeking to capture an overall view of the student experience and the results reflect upon the standing and esteem in which the University is held it is not the tool to use to offer feedback on local course issues which should be directed as normal through course representatives tutors lecturers and the Students Union The Universityrsquos own institutional student perception questionnaire will not be issued to students involved in the national survey to avoid burdening students with too many questionnaires We will therefore rely heavily on the NSS to secure feedback about the overall student experience

The survey is carried out by Ipsos MORI an independent company It will take the form of a short online questionnaire that should only take around 5 minutes to complete All eligible final year students will be contacted and invited to complete the survey So that Ipsos MORI can carry out the survey the University has been asked to provide contact details for students from its current records (this includes all contact details held by the University including personal phone numbers) The personal data will not be used for any other purpose than the survey and will not be passed on to any other partiescompanies All the answers will be kept confidential with results being published in subject groupings

93 Closing the Feedback Loop This includes programme committee feedback through the student representatives as well as other methods for feeding back on the Student Voice

For information please see httpwww1plymouthacukstudentvoicePagesYou-said-we-didaspx)

Cornwall College has developed a student engagement framework which documents the student involvement into quality mechanisms and ensures that feedback on student concerns is delivered in a constructive way and can be demonstrated within the programme action plan On some campus sites student representatives are governors or on the management committee and feedback through Student Representatives meetings

24 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

94 Programme Committee Meetings (PCM)PCMs exist to enable the core programme team and student representatives to meet formally to strict agendas twice per year These meetings are in addition to hosting the ALPrsquos and the EErsquos visits although they may be arranged to align These meetings are held twice per academic year autumn and spring The meeting utilises the standard Plymouth University agenda for each relevant meeting It is vital that Student Representatives from each academic year of the programme attend the meeting It is chaired by the Programme Manager with attendance from module leaders learning centre staff and HE Operations

95 ComplaintsThe College wants to ensure that its courses and its case of students are of a high quality However sometimes things may go wrong and you may want to complain If this becomes the case then please follow the link below for further details

httpswwwcornwallacukabout-uscomplaints-procedure

If after reviewing the procedure you are unsure of what action you would like to take or require further advice and guidance then please use the following

E-mail complaintscornwallacuk

96 Extenuating Circumstances Extenuating Circumstances is a policy to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control whilst maintaining academic standards These are circumstances which

bull affect your ability to attend or complete assessment(s) bull are exceptional bull are outside your control bull can be corroborated by independent evidence bull occurred during or shortly before the assessment in question

If your participation in an examination or assessment has been affected by an extenuating circumstance then you can ask the College to take this info consideration You can submit a claim for extenuating circumstances to cover last submission of work no-submission of work or non-attendance at a time specific assessment such as an examination test presentation or performance or a field class

When making a claim students must ensure that they submit the FULLY completed Extenuating Circumstances form along with the relevant associated evidence as soon as possible and normally no later than ten working days after the deadline for the submission of the work or the date of the presentation performance or test If you are making an extenuating circumstances claim about coursework do not wait for a decision on your claim before submitting your work Please

25 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

submit the final version of your work within 10 working days of the original deadline However it would be preferred if the claim was submitted within 5 days in order that it can be dealt with quickly and within the timeframe

For full details of the Extenuating Circumstances Policy please follow the link below

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

- Operate successfully in a commercial yachting environment- Undertake further training and develop new skills within a structured and managed

environment- Ability to identify and work towards targets for personal career and academic development

ILO5 practical ndash- Planning conducting and reporting on investigations- Basic ability to describe and record fieldwork- Ability to use appropriate equipment in the field safely- Ability to apply a range of methods to solve problems- Basic ability to relate experience to prior work and reference

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

ILO3 transferable skills ndash- interact effectively within a team learning group - manage learning using resources for the discipline- communicate effectively in a manner appropriate to the discipline (in standard English oral

written using ICT)- take responsibility for own learning with minimum direction

manage information with the ability to select appropriate data from a range of sources and develop appropriate research strategies

ILO4 employment ndash

- Operate successfully in a commercial yachting environment- Undertake further training and develop new skills within a structured and managed

environment- Ability to identify and work towards targets for personal career and academic development

ILO5 practical ndash- Planning conducting and reporting on investigations- Basic ability to describe and record fieldwork- Ability to use appropriate equipment in the field safely- Ability to apply a range of methods to solve problems- Basic ability to relate experience to prior work and reference

PS7 Distinctive FeaturesThis text is definitively approved at programme approval and therefore may be directly used for promotion of the programme without the need for further confirmation

This programme covers many of the subjects involved in ocean yachting from marine engineering to yacht design and construction This industry focused practical course is aimed at people interested in pursuing a career in the yachting industry This foundation degree is based at the UKSA centre in Cowes Isle of Wight and is delivered in partnership with the UKSA Cadetship course by Falmouth Marine School Cornwall College and awarded by Plymouth University

PS8 Student Numbers

The following provides information that should be considered nominal and therefore not absolutely rigid but is of value to guide assurance of the quality of the student experience functional issues around enabling progression opportunities to occur and staffing and resource planning

Minimum student numbers per stage = 10

Target student numbers per stage =18

Maximum student numbers per stage = 30

PS9 Progression Route(s)

31 | P a g eFdSc amp HNC Operational Yacht Science Handbook (2017-2018)

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

Approved ldquoprogression route(s)rdquo are those where successful achievement in this programme enables direct alignment to join a stage of another programme This is an approach employed primarily for Foundation Degree students to ldquotop-uprdquo to complete a Bachelor degree but may be employed for other award types

This is in part an automated admissions criterion and therefore progression may be impacted on by availability of a position on the progression award however progression opportunity if not available in the first year of application is guaranteed within 3 years

Progression arrangements with institutions other than Plymouth University carry an increased element of risk It is necessary for the delivering partner institution to obtain formal agreement from that institution to guarantee progression for existing students on the programme For progression to Plymouth University should there be the need to withdraw the progression route programme(s) then either this will be delayed to provide progression or appropriate solutions will be found This arrangement is guaranteed for existing students that complete their programme of study with no suspensions or repeat years and who wish to progress immediately to the University

Students successfully completing the HNC in Operational Yacht Science will be able to progress to stage 2 of the FdSc Operational Yacht Science a Plymouth University award delivered by Falmouth Marine School

After successful completion of the Foundation Degree students can progress to the BSc (Hons) Navigation and Maritime Science at Plymouth University There are other options available depending on your areas of interest to allow you to complete a 3rd year in other related subjects

Your Programme Manager has the support of an Academic Liaison Person (ALP) with questions regarding to progression to programmes at Plymouth University

The contribution of marks from prior levels of study to the progression award is governed by University regulations

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS11 Academic Standards and Quality EnhancementThe Programme LeaderManager (or the descriptor) leads the Programme Committee in the Plymouth Universityrsquos annual programme monitoring process (APM) as titled at the time of approval APM culminates in the production maintenance and employment of a programme level Action Plan which evidences appropriate management of the programme in terms of quality and standards Any formally agreed changes to this process will continue to be followed by the Programme LeaderManager (or other descriptor) and their Programme Committee

Elements of this process include engaging with stakeholders For this definitive document it is important to define

Subject External Examiner(s)

An Interim visit by External Examiner (EE) (usually between January and February) will review work that has been marked consult students and feed back to the programme manager and module leaders and course team

Subject Assessment Panel (SAP) reviews the assessment marking and is scrutinised by the subject EE Representatives of the team review and present their module marks for each student on the programme

The annual Award Assessment Board (AAB) takes place with Programme Manager the awarding bodyrsquos partnership member and the External to receive the students work and confer progression or award

All of this programmersquos modules are covered by a single EE Adrian Bateman

Additional stakeholders specific to this programme

Students have the opportunity to discuss the programme independently twice a year in the Student Review This forms part of the discussion for the annual programme monitoring in the autumn and spring of each academic year

The Student Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) is administered during the year and feeds into the programme review

Students Representatives attend Annual Programme Monitoring (APM) to contribute student views alongside Module Leaders the Programme Manager and the Assistant Registrar to monitor module delivery and the course provision

Curriculum meetings take place once a month to review progression department provision resources and staffing

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS13 Explanation and Mapping of Learning Outcomes Teaching amp Learning and Assessment

Developing graduate attributed and skills at any level of HE is dependent on the clarity of strategies and methods for identifying the attributes and skills relevant to the programme and where and how these are operationalised The interrelated factors of Teaching Learning and Assessment and how these are inclusive in nature are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme

Ordered by graduate attributes and skills the following table provides a map of the above plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each Therefore subsequent to the initial completion for approval maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations

PS14 Work Based Related LearningWBL is an essential element of Foundation Degrees and therefore needs to be detailed here However for all types of HE Programmes there should be an element of employability focus through at least Work Related Learning and therefore the following is applicable for all

FHEQ level FdSc Operational Yacht Science Levels 4 amp 5WBLWRL Activity Logistics Prog Aim Prog Intended LO Range of Assessments Related Core Module(s)

FMS and the UKSA work to their strengths in this Partnership

On a practical level the students spend alot of time on the yachts at the UKSA Hence the partnership with themThe UKSA deliver the practical application of the theory in each module to allow the students time to contextualise it

Take part in and review and analyse practical workplace scenarios

Work as part of a team and lead a team in the operation of a yacht Seek and review stakeholder feedback

With tutor support produce own personal skills development plan

This is organised through and by the UKSA through the partnership agreement and agreed and timetabled with us before the academic year progresses (successfully done over 5 years plus)

Students will develop a personal development plan during their induction period which will enable them to record their progress and achievements relating to employability skills and employment aspirations
