Internal structure
The internal processes that generate quality assurance data.
As an independent, self-governing body, the University has primary responsibility for the academic standards and quality of its teaching and learning.
Quality assurance structures reflect the governance structure of the University. Within the University-wide regulatory framework of policies and procedures, colleges have devolved powers which include responsibility for overseeing quality assurance at a local level.
Key features of the University’s quality assurance are:
- programme and course creation and approval
- annual monitoring and quality assurance
- periodic review of programmes of study through internal subject review
- student participation in quality assurance
- external examiners
- external reference points
Annual quality assurance monitoring
These internal processes form a feedback loop for both quality assurance data and for the ongoing development of the quality assurance process.
Committees
At each of the school, college and University levels, there is a committee with key reponsibilities for quality assurance.
- School or teaching organisation quality committee responsibilities
- College quality assurance committee responsibilities
- Senate Quality Assurance Committee responsibilities
