2012 Awards: Coherent Curriculum and Access to HE
In 2012 the panel funded 17 projects, each for up to £5k to support the development of learning and teaching activities. By funding twice as many projects as in previous years it was intended to offer additional institutional support for work done in preparation for 2012.
Four projects were funded under the priority theme of Access to HE. Thirteen projects were funded under the priority theme of Coherent Curriculum. Relevant resources are:
