| 2005 | A complaint was made by four students on an LLB programme. A formal review conducted by the Vice-Provost (Academic and International) found that “there had been insufficient Departmental / Faculty scrutiny of the programme and that the academic and pastoral guidance and care given to the students was insufficient.” | “A sum of £3,500 was awarded to each of the students in compensation. This was increased to £5,000 to reflect financial loss and the anxiety to which the students had been subjected.” | ||||
