At its meeting held on 13 October 2011, the Council, on the recommendation of the Senate, approved for a second time amendments to Ordinance 7 on Boards of the Faculties and Ordinance 13 on Degrees and Diplomas.

The revisions include changes arising from the establishment of the School of Life Sciences and the subsequent dissolution of Warwick HRI and the Department of Biological Sciences, as well as reflecting the introduction of a new degree title of Master of Fine Arts (MFA).
