The pool of general transferable skills will be revised in terms of content and organisation and restructured to create an attractive, comprehensive range of courses.

The quality objectives adopted in 2013 are currently being revised to create an open-minded, sustainable mission statement for teaching at JMU. To this end, a survey of teaching staff and students was evaluated in advance. A writing group of students and ZBL staff is working on a draft version of the new mission statement, which will then go through various committees.
