Quality assurance
Academic review process: About the process
With reference to Recommendation 4 of the University's Quality Assurance Policy document, the five-yearly academic reviews is intended to focus on two areas: Firstly on the quality of the academic activities themselves (teaching and research), and secondly on the quality of the management system which monitors these activities and initiates improvements where needed.
