What is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Student Enrolment System (SES) is a web-based tool that presents information about graduate training opportunities available across the departments in Social Science and MPLS to graduate students, supervisors and administrators and allows students to request places on training. SES consists of a ‘courses database’ DAISY\u00a0 as the source of information about teaching\/training provision and an interface in WebLearn for students and others (https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/portal\/hierarchy\/socsci\/ses<\/a> and https:\/\/weblearn.ox.ac.uk\/portal\/hierarchy\/mpls\/gap<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s it for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SES enables students and supervisors to view in one place information about graduate training opportunities from the departments and divisional office and to search for courses, and allows students to enrol for places.<\/p>\n

Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Social Sciences ESRC Doctoral Training Centre and MPLS Graduate Academic Programme both aim to promote student access to training and greater sharing of training opportunities across departments and disciplines.<\/p>\n

In the recent OUSU PGT review report, a key finding was the need to provide students with better access to information about training opportunities across departments and other parts of the University.<\/p>\n

Benefits <\/strong><\/h2>\n

For students: SES will provide easier access to information about training opportunities, in one place, and the facility to request a place online. The training information in SES is searchable.<\/p>\n

For Supervisors: SES will provide information about training opportunities across departments, and help them to oversee the training of each of their supervisees.<\/p>\n

For Departmental administrative staff: SES will help with providing information and handling student sign up for options, as well as course administration including registers for attendance, and charging.<\/p>\n

Approval<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SES has the facility to allow up to three approval points before a requested place is confirmed. Departments can decide which they want to use, and switch off others:<\/p>\n
