Programme specifications

Programme specifications

Programme specifications are a concise description of the intended aims and learning outcomes of a programme, and the means by which the outcomes are achieved and assessed.  Programme specifications are published annually and therefore represent the updated course structure for each specific academic year.  They are intended for:

  • undergraduate and postgraduate students on the programme
  • staff teaching and/or administering the programme
  • former students who may need to provide details of what their programme covered to supplement their transcript

Alternative formats

We are in the process of digitising our programme specifications, which are currently available only as Google Sheets or PDFs. If you require an alternative format, please contact academic-quality-admin@york.ac.uk.
