• The use of external examiners to help monitor the academic standards of our awards.
• Annual monitoring of all taught undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
• Independent periodic programme review for all departments on a five-year cycle, with external and student participation in review panels.
• Student feedback through questionnaires at module level.
