List of HASS Faculty Committees

1. Faculty Committees

HASS is home to two academic governance committees.

The HASS Teaching and Learning Committee assures the highest standards in teaching and learning, student experience, and staff development and recognition across the Faculty. Its role is to influence UQ policy development and translate policy into practice. The Committee advises the Executive Dean on strategic and innovative initiatives that enhance the quality of the HASS educational experience. 
 
The HASS Board of Studies advises the Executive Dean on current and future issues that have implications in relation to HASS programs. Its role is to develop new undergraduate and postgraduate programs within the Faculty, comment on the introduction of new courses and proposed changed to courses, and review the performance of existing programs through the Academic Program Review process.

2. School Committees

Each of the seven Schools in HASS has a Teaching and Learning Committee, which oversees all teaching, learning and student experience matters across the School. The Committee advises the Head of School on matters relating to teaching, learning and assessment. The Chairs of these committees are also members of the HASS Teaching and Learning Committee. 
 
In addition, some Schools have a Program Management Committee, which seek to enhance teaching, learning and the student experience within a specific degree. These committees are generally chaired by the relevant Program Convenor.
