The Course Team and Language Institute should ensure that each element of the course and the needs of students have been accounted for. This will not be limited to, but include:
  1. A clear, mutual understanding over the responsibility and process for admissions to the language element
  2. A clear, mutual agreement that the proposed language element is sufficiently discipline-specific.
  3. A clear, mutual agreement on how students will be supported during the language element of the course.
  4. A clear, mutual agreement that there is sufficient space to support the programme, that timetabling has been considered and that there is sufficient staff support.
  5. A clear, mutual understanding of how students can progress from the language element to the main course; what the formal progression point will be, when an examination board will sit, and how referrals/deferrals will be managed.
