We will review 8 Subject Benchmark Statements in 2024-25.
To ensure that the SBS reviews take into account a diverse and broad spectrum of ideas, opinion and experience, each subject area will have its own advisory group, comprising members of the academic community, employers, professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRBs), and students.
