BISA and PSA members appointed to advisory group for the QAA benchmark review
The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has announced the membership of the 2022 advisory group for Politics and International Relations, and we are pleased to see the panel comprises a number of Political Studies Association (PSA) and BISA members.
Subject Benchmark Statements describe the nature of study and the academic standards expected of graduates in specific subject areas. They show what graduates might reasonably be expected to know, do and understand at the end of their studies. They are used as reference points in the design, delivery and review of academic programmes and are reviewed on a cyclical basis to ensure they are as useful as possible for discipline communities.
We are grateful to all those colleagues who put themselves forward for consideration and thank those selected for their time and dedication to our discipline:
