University's quality assurance framework

The University's quality assurance framework is comprised of a range of systems that allow the routine monitoring and regular review of all its programmes.  These systems which involve a broad and varied spectrum of customers and agencies, include:

  • Annual programme monitoring (APM)
  • External examiners
  • Internal student surveys
  • Periodic subject review
  • Professional, statutory and regulatory bodies (PSRB)
  • Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) audits

The University’s codes of practice and procedures for these monitoring and review activities can be found at TQA manual

The Quality Review team supports the University's key quality management systems.  Each team member supports specific areas of the University's quality management systems: for further information, visit our page on who we are and what we do.

A yearly schedule of Quality Review's main areas of business can be found here. Colleagues may find this useful in planning their own internal quality assurance activities.
