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, student-staff liaison, the Imperial College School of Medicine (ICSM) Board, the Undergraduate Science Education (USE) Board, and Faculty-to-university-level committees.
The School of Medicine Board is responsible for defining the strategic direction of the following courses:
- MBBS/BSc in Medicine (A100)
- MBBS in Medicine (Graduate only) (A109)
- The intercalated BSc programmes in Medical Sciences with option pathway.
The Undergraduate Science Education Board is responsible for defining the strategic direction of the following courses:
- BSc Medical Biosciences (B101)
- BSc Medical Biosciences with Management (B111)
- The intercalated BSc programmes in Medical Sciences with option pathway
The School adheres to the official university 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 holds a permanent seat on both the ICSM and USE Boards. The ICSMSU BMB President, the Academic Officer for the MBBS BSc year, and the BMB Academic Chair are members of the USE Board. Student representatives for the MBBS and BMB programmes are members of their year-specific Student-Staff Liaison Group.
