Quality Assurance 

The Institute quality assurance is embodied in the belief that it is the responsibility of every participant in the programme to contribute to quality assurance. This full participation in and commitment to quality assurance procedures will be achieved through:

  1. A clear documentation of the course for students through course and module handbooks which outline aims and objectives, schedules and teaching content, assessment guidelines and marking criteria, and indications of further reading.
  2. Approaches to assessment which ensure good formative and summative assessment and feedback, consistent gradings against academic criteria and effective internal and external moderation.
  3. Tutor evaluation of the teaching programme.
  4. Ongoing student evaluation through module evaluation and course meetings.
  5. Engagement with issues raised in external examiner's reports.

Feedback from all these sources are collated in the annual course report and an action plan is produced to address issues of concern and to ensure ongoing quality enhancement. The formal reporting procedures ensures that the health of the course is reported and accountable at all levels.
