Annual Quality & Enhancement Review
- is an essential element of the University’s Quality Assurance and Quality Enhancement processes.
- allows Schools, Colleges and the University to ensure that the courses and programmes we deliver meet the expectations of staff and students
- continually look for opportunities to develop and enhance provision.
- closing the feedback loop and ensuring that actions and outcomes are reported to colleagues and students.
The management of Annual Quality & Enhancement Review is devolved to Colleges and is managed locally by School and College Quality & Enhancement Officers.
The Process
The process which is in place for the review of learning and teaching during 2023-24 is set out in the Timescales document below.
