Definitive Course Records (DCRs)
A DCR is a concise description of a course that leads to a University award. For each course it describes:
- Key facts
- Course summary
- Course aims
- Learning outcomes
- Course design and structure (modules)
- Delivery and assessment
- Course costs
- Academic framework and regulations
It contains information that may be useful to:
- Those interested in applying to the course
- Staff teaching or administering the course
- Other stakeholders
Please note that we are changing academic frameworks and during academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26 we will be reapproving all Ipswich based courses to align to the new framework of 30 credits. Due to the reapproval process DCRs will only be published upon courses being signed off and therefore there may be DCRs missing.
Published 2025/26 Records
DCRs are only published for validated courses. If the course you are interested in is marked as 'subject to validation', the DCR will be published once the course has been validated. DCRs are listed alphabetically by name.
