Teaching Survey
 Research Income Margin
 Research publication metrics
The outstanding high priority items from the student
planning workshop are the provision of transparent
analysis of teaching load, the accurate processing of
in year starters and leavers and year on year analysis
of teaching load.
Currently the student five year head plan and
applications data are not presented in a single report.
This work would integrate the two sets of data
presenting the targets with actual recruitment
activity.
The proposal was developed as part of the student
planning workshop but was not identified in the
recent review as a priority item
The international office are requesting an extension
to the admissions reputing used by SARO, adding a
student’s country of domicile to the reports.
SARO have developed a list of prioritised
enhancements to the existing PG & UG reports.
A business case has been presented to the ARO
directorate on the automation of the analysis of the
annual teaching survey,

Increasing resource
The option is available to purchase external resource to progress projects, indicative rates are £450 per day for independent contractors and £ 1,000 for
consultants, all prices ex-vat. There are risks associated with the use of external resources, particularly maintenance of the work completed, loss of
knowledge and the need for Warwick staff to oversee any work. The use of external resources will require some support from Warwick staff to ensure work
delivered can be maintained by Warwick staff and integrates with the work completed to date.
