• Promote, support and contribute to TCM research and the publication of research outcomes.

SITCM’s Mission and Goals are realised through the following governing Boards and Committees:

COURSE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The Course Advisory Committee (CAC) is convened by the Academic Board for each broad discipline to provide industry and content specific advice and guidance in relation to the development and on-going revision of SITCM’s courses. This include providing advice on new course proposals, report on applications for accreditation of new courses and re-accreditation of existing courses and to review existing courses. External membership in the CAC provides an additional measure of assuring the quality and relevance of the SITCM’s courses.

TEACHING AND LEARNING COMMITTEE

The Teaching and Learning Committee (TLC) is appointed by the Academic Board to monitor and report on quality assurance processes for teaching and learning within SITCM which are in place to ensure that day-to-day academic operations meet quality educational standards. The TLC implements academic policies relating to all teaching and learning processes, monitors student progression and completion rates, assessment moderation, results, facilities and resources, and encourages a culture of scholarship throughout SITCM.
