Collaborative Provision

The University has different types of collaborative arrangements, all of which have different implications for the respective responsibilities of the University and the partner institution in relation to recruitment and selection, student registration and regulation, programme design and approval, programme delivery, the quality of the student learning experience, the standards of the credits/award, and for financial matters.

These are outlined in more detail in the Procedures for the Quality Assurance of Taught Collaborative Provision, including:

Section One: Underpinning Principles (aligned with the QAA Quality Code - Principle 8)
Section Two: Collaborative Provision Types
Section Three: Approval of New Collaborations
Section Four: Managing Existing Collaborations
