The onset of Covid-19 has shaken all our worlds. Yet at the University of Warwick, we have been able to withstand many of the challenges it brought to the welfare of our community, due in part to our new Wellbeing Strategy.
Following the March 2023 Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) meeting, we wish to provide a progress update on three of the key commitments we made within the interim joint statement (dated 17 February 2023). These commitments were:
UK universities are seeking to diversify their transnational collaborative provision globally. In this context, the experience of the UK-Philippines TNE Links programme can offer a blueprint to be further developed in the country and mirrored in other markets.
Universities in England have committed to reversing pandemic grade inflation in first and 2.1 degrees.
In a first of its kind statement Universities UK (UUK) and GuildHE members have committed to return to pre-pandemic levels of ‘upper’ degree classification by 2023.
