Programme Design & Learning Outcomes
Coherent study structures, verifiable awards and learner achievement.
This material is a public proposed criteria resource designed to support evidence-based self-study and later independent peer review where eligibility and authorisation are established. It does not certify an organisation, programme or degree and does not grant any European accreditation.
What can be examined
- Published programme specifications and admission eligibility
- Coherent learning outcomes, credits and curriculum alignment
- Teaching competence and resourcing evidence
- Workload, learning support and progress monitoring
- Awards disclosure including exact degree-awarding legal authority
Sample evidence categories
- Programme specifications and curriculum map
- Course syllabi and assessment blueprints
- Faculty evidence and resource allocations
- Programme approval and annual monitoring records
- Awarding partner or official approval primary-source decisions
Reporting and safeguards
Evidence provenance, reviewer independence, scope, material findings, outcome terminology and public decisions require an approved operational review process. Publishing a link to this page is not an evaluation result. Related-party ownership must be disclosed; no QUAA review involving an affiliated university can be marketed as independent recognition without genuine independence and legal eligibility.
Evidence is stronger than an unearned seal.
