Durham Management Committee Having a Management Committee for Durham
awards will be required by the contract between Durham University and All Saints.
This will change our structures as the Management Committee will be responsible for areas currently covered by CMT and the Academic Committee.
See the handout for functions, membership and terms of reference.
Durham Management Committee The Head of the TEI (Principal - Chair). The Programme Director(s) for the programme(s)
offered under this agreement. Other academic staff of the TEI involved in the
delivery of the programme(s) offered under this agreement.
One student representative for each of the academic levels of study offered by the TEI under the agreement.
The University Liaison Officer(s) appointed by the University for the programme(s) for which the Committee is responsible.
Currently, one programme with Principal as Programme Leader◦ 2015 sees transition from Chester/LHU
programme to the new Durham Common Awards “suite” of programmes
◦ Common Awards programmes may have different leaders, responsible to the Principal
◦ Accreditation (or not) of Reader-training courses may require more complex arrangements within the region
Future Academic Structure
