Administration of quality
Role of the Faculty / School
It is the function of the faculties and School of Management to manage processes relating to quality and standards within their respective departments and groups. Boards of Studies make decisions in relation to standards on both taught and research programmes. Faculty / School Learning, Teaching and Quality Committees make (or where necessary refer to University Learning, Teaching and Quality Committee) decisions on quality matters for taught programmes. Faculty / School Research Students Committees make (or where necessary refer to University Research Students Committee) decisions relating to quality for research programmes. If you have any questions about quality in your department you should address these to your Faculty Assistant Registrar.
Administration of quality at the institutional level
At the institutional level the quality of taught programmes is overseen and supported by the Student Learning Experience and Quality (SLEQ) team within the Learning and Teaching Enhancement Office. In addition to providing advice and guidance to faculties on quality issues, SLEQ is responsible for:
- the upkeep of the Quality Assurance Code of Practice,
- the servicing of committees and forums including University Learning, Teaching and Quality Committee, Programmes and Partnerships Approval Committee and Directors of Studies (Taught Programmes) Forum,
- implementation and analysis of surveys on the student learning experience; and
- student engagement.
The Graduate Students Section of the Student Records and Examinations Office (SREO) provides faculties with support and advice on quality management for research programmes.
