What the review covers
QUAA Education examines quality systems and learning provision across international contexts. A review can be institution-wide or limited to a named programme or delivery model. Every procedure begins with a written scope so institutions, students and third parties can understand exactly what was evaluated.
Academic responsibilities
Cross-border provision may involve several legal entities. The review assesses documented teaching, assessment, learner support and award responsibilities without assuming that a collaborative arrangement grants national approval, degree powers or automatic credit recognition.
Independent peer review
Reviewers examine submitted evidence, speak with appropriate institutional stakeholders and test whether published standards are applied in practice. A draft report gives the institution an opportunity to correct factual errors; technical recommendations then proceed to the defined independent decision process.
Public accountability
Any final review outcome must identify the precise institution/programme, criteria version, geographical and delivery scope, outcome and date. A publicly searchable record is created only after a valid decision and publication authorization. Where no completed decision exists, the public register accurately shows no outcome.
Applying for a review
Start with the eligibility enquiry and supply institution identity, programme or service descriptions, delivery jurisdictions and the planned use of any QUAA mark. Review costs and timetable are specified in a separate written quotation and contract.
