Internal Reviews

Internal reviews have a central role in the divisional and institutional oversight of the academic and financial activities of departments and faculties. Divisions have the responsibility for management of quality assurance in their faculties/departments and the Education Committee has responsibility to ensure institutional oversight of the process. Reviews are a formal part of the University's quality assurance regime for which the University is accountable to the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). A key issue in the QAA’s Institutional Audits is to monitor how universities exercise institutional oversight, and in particular how institutions operate and learn from their own internal review processes. The Review Protocol and Review Timetable outlining the schedule for periodic reviews are downloadable from the Useful documents section. The reviews are to cover all aspects of the work of the faculty/department, and each is to be reviewed every 6 years.
