Overview
The University’s Quality Assurance (QA) Code of Practice is the key reference document through which we develop and implement an effective and efficient quality management framework, assuring ourselves of the quality and standards of our provision. It is also one of the channels of communication through which good practice in learning and teaching is encouraged and disseminated.
You may also wish to read the introduction to Quality Management at the University.
The list below includes all QA Code of Practice statements which apply to apprenticeship courses. For documentation relating to all other forms of provision please see Quality Assurance Code of Practice. Statements which are specific only to apprenticeship courses are indicated using (A) in the name.
If you have any questions relating to a statement, please approach the contact listed at the start of each statement. This may be a Faculty or School Assistant Registrar or a Professional Services team.
