Presentation Notes

I’d like to highlight a number of recent successes: BU was awarded an Queen’s Anniversary Prize for HE and FE in Computer Animation – thanks to our great work of our Academics in that area and the fact that we are home to a National Centre for Computer Animation We have recently achieved a "commended" judgement for the quality of student learning opportunities from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). This is the first time the judgement of ‘commended’ (the highest award possible for this category) has been given to any university. The term ‘learning opportunities’ describes the different mechanisms and facilities that a university provides to enable a student to succeed. For this category, the QAA look at many areas of how an institution supports students, including the quality of teaching students receive, academic support, the resources available to students including the library and IT facilities, and the general support they receive. The commendation is both a testament to the hard work of the staff and Students’ Union at BU (SUBU), and a reflection of the continuing investment in our facilities. Everything that we do is focused on quality. We will build on this success to ensure that we continue to give our students, potentially your son or daughter, the opportunity to succeed throughout their career – wherever it may take them.
