Programme reviews
Programme reviews assess and enhance the quality of established degree programmes.
The results of programme reviews can provide an assurance of quality for students, staff, faculties, the wider University community and external stakeholders. They also provide feedback to faculties, schools and departments to assist them in identifying and making programme improvements.
Established programmes with large enrolments and/or strategic importance are reviewed by a panel with internal and external membership within a 10-year cycle. These reviews may be comprehensive or thematic in their scope.
Other established programmes are reviewed internally or as part of external accreditation exercises. New degree programmes are assessed by Graduating Year Review.
