A proposed programme-level review focused on curriculum structure, assessment coherence, teaching resources and student achievement evidence.
Current status: QUAA Education review criteria are being developed. A review outcome, certificate or accreditation is not presently offered or implied by this page.
What the review examines
- Programme design and approval rationale
- Intended learning outcomes and qualification-level alignment
- Curriculum sequencing, workload and credit clarity
- Assessment design and moderation arrangements
- Admission rules, prior learning and learner progression
- Programme review and stakeholder feedback
Who it serves
Universities and education providers seeking an externally structured understanding of individual programme quality.
Typical evidence base
- Programme specifications and course catalogues
- Curriculum maps and sample course materials
- Assessment briefs, grading rubrics and samples
- Faculty allocation and delivery schedules
- Student progression and feedback evidence
- Review approvals and improvement logs
Expected deliverables
Programme-specific findings with criteria-by-criteria observations, recommendations and an explicit scope. The review does not independently validate degree recognition.
How findings would be handled
Review scope, applicable versioned criteria, assessor independence, conflicts of interest, method, evidence limits and result terminology must be documented before a report can be issued. Publication requires a valid decision and an approved disclosure policy.
