New Campus Glasgow: Strategic Benefits Analysis
Other indicators
The monitoring of specific indicators should be supplemented by a regular student survey.
The student survey would be designed to ascertain student views on:
• Reasons for enrolling
• Views on teaching facilities and approaches
• Views on the range of student support facilities
• Any areas of dissatisfaction with facilities, premises, teaching or services
• Overall satisfaction
Other measures of the colleges quality may be confirmed through:
• Investors in People recognition;
• Charter Mark recognition;
• SQA Centre approval
Inclusion, progression and widening participation
We have suggested below two indicators of success in this area:
• The percentage of learners from deprived areas; and
• Student outcomes in terms of progression or success.

Institutional impacts
The table below contains three potential measures of institutional impact:
• Unit cost per WSUM, and premises costs as a percentage of total expenditure,
both measures of efficiency; and
• The number of international students, as a measure of the colleges' profile.
