Where are we now? - Learning from Subject Review in MSOR

Following similar exercises in Scotland (1992-94) and Wales (1995-96) seventy-one subject reviews in Mathematics Statistics and Operational Research (MSOR) took place in 1998-2000. The process was carried out by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) who had appointed eighty-seven reviewers in MSOR. The QAA has published both a subject overview report (SOR) and the individual institutional subject reports (available from www.qaa.ac.uk). The LTSN has copies of all QAA MSOR reports and the Scottish and Welsh equivalents on its website (ltsn.mathstore.ac.uk). These are editable and can be searched via www.ltsn.gla.ac.uk/qaa/ - for example entering a word will produce all the reports containing that word (use ‘student’ if you want them all!).
