Staff handbook > Introduction

The purpose of the Handbook is to:

•     complement the Bath Spa University (BSU) Modular Scheme Handbook
•     provide clear and up-to-date information about the Wessex Partnerships
•     describe various issues and procedures concerned with the operation of the partnerships
•     Provide a template of the Memorandum of Cooperation
•     act as a reference tool for contact names and addresses

It is designed to be a working document for you to add information with specific reference to the module/s for which you are responsible that are being delivered at the partner institutions. During the year you will be circulated with additional information. Any feedback from colleagues about the handbook, and suggestions for additions and improvements, will be very welcome.

A Wessex Student Handbook is also posted on the Wessex website. Do consult the Wessex Student Handbook for further information on BSU resources, facilities and support to Wessex students.
