Communications Arrangements
For all day to day management issues, it is crucial that there is a named contact person at the partner institution. Depending on the nature of the programme this might be the programme leader, another member of academic staff or an administrator. The named contact at the partner institution will be able to refer queries onwards to the relevant person if he or she is not able to respond. For example, an administrator appointed as named contact would typically pass academic queries to a member of academic staff.
Each partner institution must, as a minimum, have the following contacts at ÎÞÂëȺ½»:
- Academic issues – a named academic staff member in the host School (the Collaborative Academic Lead)
- Administrative issues – emails should be directed to the collaborations team in Academic Administration.
All correspondence must be copied to the Collaborative Academic Lead. This will ensure that queries can be handled promptly and effectively. It is essential that the Collaborative Academic Lead and Collaborations team communicate regularly and copy each other into correspondence. This will ensure that both are kept updated of any developments.
No member of ÎÞÂëȺ½» staff should make decisions relating to the operation of the programme without consulting the Collaborative Academic Lead and / or Collaborations.
GQE will keep partners updated regarding key contacts at the University.
