How much do PARs cost and what financial support is available to schools for PARs development?
Costs arise from providing all students with folders or files containing their copies of the school’s PAR documents. All the materials required for one complete PAR folder per student, per three-year undergraduate course, cost a few pounds: probably between four and eight, depending on the quality of presentation preferred. The core documents need to be produced in duplicate: one copy for the student, one for the tutor/School. Financial support for materials: • In special cases, schools may apply for Teaching Enhancement Office funding to cover start-up costs. • Schools may wish to consider sponsorship. Businesses interested in our students find PARs an attractive sponsorship opportunity. Sponsorships are already in place for the PARs in the Business School and the School of Law.

Financial support for staff training: • All Schools’ Staff Development Officers and Heads of School will receive invitations in October 2000 to apply for
