LSTM’s quality framework covers a wide range of Codes of Practice, Procedures and Guidelines all of which are in place to ensure that we continue to develop and maintain high standards of academic excellence.
During 2022 All of LSTM’s regulations, policies, codes of practice and Handbooks are under review, with significant updates expected to be made to all postgraduate taught documents and the potential for more minor changes to postgraduate research documents. This includes all documents listed here and those held on our intranet. Any questions about the review can be directed to the Academic Registrar Sarah O’Keeffe via email to sarah.okeeffe@lstmed.ac.uk Please note that the updated documents will be in place for September 2022.
