End of Programme Level Evaluation Guidelines
End of Programme level Evaluation is a new process that has been agreed through ESEC and replaces individual
module evaluation. The survey will be used for all students at the end of each academic year. It will be delivered to
students through Moodle using the Feedback activity. A template of the evalution questions has been created to
ensure the process of setting up End of Programme Level Evaluation is simple and straightforward. It can be adapted
for your specific programme.
Guidelines on to how to adapt the template

Introduction from Head of Programme: Please feel free to adapt this to suit your particular subject context
and needs. The words in the current template are just an example. Please note that you will need to change
the programme title if you decide to use the words currently in the template.
Question 1: this is a core question and cannot be altered.
Question 2: please choose which modules you wish your students to comment on. It may be that you choose
2 from semester one and 2 from semester two, rather than asking for comment about every module. Please
consider joint honours students on your programme and ensure that they are able to contribute by choosing
at least one core module. Another option might be to identify 3 modules and then allow the student to
choose a 4th option that they would like in particular to comment on. It may be that in future years you
choose to evaluate different modules. Please note that you will need to change the module codes/titles in
Question 2.
Question 3: this is a core question and cannot be altered.
Question 4: this is your opportunity to seek feedback about specific issues within your programme.
The End of Programme Level Evaluation must be added to *one* of the programmes second semester
modules or a module that is delivered throughout the entire academic year (Semester 1 through to the
end of Semester 2).
