Quality Enhancement is responsible for the monitoring of quality assurance and enhancement arrangements in partner institutions which have been approved to offer Ulster University award-bearing courses.
Quality Enhancement manages the processes for Institutional Recognition, those for monitoring through Annual Course Review and the Programme Management System, and supports the work of the Collaborative Partnerships Forum.
The Academic Office is responsible for quality assurance arrangements in respect of initial approval and re-validation of such courses. The Partnership Handbook details University policies and procedures for the approval, management and monitoring of courses.
