What are programme specifications?

A programme specification (PS) is a concise description of the intended learning outcomes of an
HE programme, and the means by which the outcomes are achieved and demonstrated.
In general, modules or other units of study have stated outcomes, often set out in
handbooks provided by institutions to inform student choice. These intended learning
outcomes relate directly to the curriculum, study and assessment methods and criteria used
to assess performance.

A PS and progress files forms part of a HE framework to be more explicit about what is learnt and how it is learnt.
