The School of Medicine observes a formal governance process which underpins its annual quality management cycle. Its purpose is to ensure robust and transparent oversight of activity at both School and Faculty level.

Modifications to teaching, assessment and the student experience are discussed through a sequence of meetings that incorporate advisory groups, forums by phase and year group, staff-student liaison, the Imperial College School of Medicine board, the Undergraduate Science Education board and Faculty-to-College-level committees.

The School adheres to the official College procedure for programme design and modification, consulting with students and seeking approval through this sequence of meetings for any major or minor changes it wishes to make on an annual cycle.

Student Representation

Student representation throughout the key phases of this cycle offers engagement on all matters arisen and consultation of each proposal made.

The Imperial College School of Medicine Students' Union President is a member of all the meetings in this cycle, and student representatives for the MBBS and BMB programmes are members of their year-specific Staff-Student Liaison Group.
