Learning with Impact. Measure H – SSES Survey – The percentage of students Overall, satisfied with their College experience In AY 22/23 we issued our first Student Early Experience Survey where 40.5% of the student population took part, which is 722 responses. The survey was opened for 2 weeks at the end of September and the report forms part of the DG-See process going forward. The average response over all answers was 4.5 out of a possible 5, which shows a very high level of satisfaction. For the whole of session 22-23 the overall college experience satisfaction rate is 96%. On comparison to the satisfaction rate for session 21-22 (90.4%) this represents an increase of 5.6%. Overall participation in the survey was positive with 996 responses in total. This represented a return of 50.6%. This represents an increase of 19.1% on comparison to the return for session 21-22 (31.8%). There were also 126 comments from the survey. Comments have been shared with relevant staff and feedback requested to note any actions taken in response to issues raised. This will form part of the College DG-See process.

Learning with Impact. Graduate Outcomes and Skills Through our portfolio of socially and economically relevant educational programmes, we are contributing directly to the outcomes for economic recovery and to developing graduates and postgraduates who are able to think independently, reflectively and creatively, who are ready for employment, and who have an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. We aim to provide an infrastructure and environment that actively supports graduate start-up. The most recent HESA PI for employability (published as experimental statistics in July 2022, and based on the status of the 2019/20 graduating cohort 15 months after graduation) shows that 96.6% of Scottish-domiciled undergraduate qualifiers responding to the Graduate Outcomes survey were in a positive destination. Regarding graduates in professional employment, our overall figure derived from the experimental statistics referred to above is 61.3%. Our focus on graduate employability is being advanced through our Employability Strategy, which outlines the measures we will take to create an environment in which students develop the skills and attributes needed to flourish in a rapidly changing labour market. The strategy has been developed through consultation with representatives from students and graduates, employers, programme teams and Student Services, all of whom share responsibility for implementation. It represents an agreement on the focus and priorities of the Careers and Employability team, programme teams and our external partners over the period 2021-2026. It has been developed against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and includes projects which will support students to navigate uncertain labour markets and an anticipated economic downturn, and to maximise the opportunities presented by changing working practices across all industries and sectors.

Learning with Impact. The University is committed to providing a curriculum that upskills the workforce, particularly in the areas of ICT and digital skills. We currently offer programmes in nine of the eleven key Scottish sectors as covered by the Skills Investment Plans (SIPs). Alongside traditional degree programmes, we continue to work with employers to provide training to meet developing skills gaps in anticipation of the need to harness new technologies. The University has grown new alternative routes of higher education, including expanding its provision of Graduate Level Apprenticeships (GLA) awarded by Skills Development Scotland. We have grown our graduate apprenticeships from 30 in 2017/18 to 275 in 2019/20 with students are spread across the subject areas of Civil Engineering, Construction, Computing and Business Management. Edinburgh Xxxxxx is leading the universities skills activity of the Data Driven Innovation Skills Gateway work of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland Region Deal. Curriculum development work to date, relating to sought after data skills, includes commencing a new BSc (Hons) Data Science and embedding data science capability in BA Nursing and BA Business Management programmes. These courses have been prioritised as they attract students from MD20/40 areas, to ensure enhanced data capability is accessible to under-represented student groups, promoting inclusive growth. To align with industry and professional body requirements, we continue to seek accreditation as appropriate and the BEng (Hons) Cyber Security and Forensics course was approved by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC); the first undergraduate course to achieve this in the UK. Drawing upon considerable experience in this subject area we have delivered a new short course targeted to neuro-diverse participants, with ongoing support from the cyber security industry across Scotland. Our active Industry Advisory Boards have migrated smoothly to online meetings so that new working practices and industry insights can be shared with academic staff for the benefit of students. Such discussions continue to frame the embedding of meta skills development appropriate to each sector. We are continuing to prioritise and direct our Employer Engagement activity towards the development of key relationships with new and existing placement providers to ensure that Xxxxxx students continue to get access to the best possible work experience opportunities being offered throughout this challenging per...
Learning with Impact. ‌ The Dundee & Angus region has undergone significant transformation over the past few years and, with a £1bn investment in Dundee’s Waterfront, the £700m Tay Cities Deal, the £60m Michelin (Scotland) Innovation Parc developments and the planned Northern Light Entertainment E-Sports Arena progressing, it is important that the College continues to play a major role in providing the skills and training needed to ensure the needs of both the regional and national economy are met. Key project developments progressing over 2021/2022 include. Tay Cities Deal The College is currently involved in three major Tay Cities Deal projects. The timescale for the Tay Cities Engineering Project (TCEP) has been delayed due to factors outwith the project’s control, but arrangements do remain on course for the redevelopment of engineering facilities and services on the Arbroath campus. This is a £4.3 million, 5-year, project which the College will lead, in partnership with Angus Council and a host of engineering companies. The timescales for the BioMedical, Small Medium Sized Enterprise (SME) and the proposed Shared Apprenticeship projects have been delayed by Tay Cities, but will continue to progress over the coming months. Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (M.S.I.P.) M.S.I.P. developments are progressing, with work commenced on the former Michelin factory site to create the Advanced Skills Academy Space. Information on the M.S.I.P. development is available here. The College has attracted £100k funding from the Xxxxxxx Trust to provide specialist equipment for the site and a further £60k per year from the Northwood trust to support recurring costs for an initial three year period. Work is also progressing well in respect of the new and innovative curriculum needs for the Academy. Work on site has been impacted by the COVID-19 restrictions and availability of materials, and it is anticipated that the first students will have an opportunity to learn alongside industry partners from early 2022. Northern Lights E-Sports Arena Plans for the 4000 capacity E-Sports arena on the Dundee Waterfront are progressing, with significant work taking place around the funding for the development. D&A is a skills partner in this development and arrangements in respect of the curriculum needs underpinning this development are progressing, including approval for a new BTEC qualification in E-Sports.
