Quality Standards
Higher Education Quality is managed by a series of processes.
At its simplest the Academic Board of the College oversees all the academic processes of the College including ensuring quality courses, quality teaching, quality assessment and consistent academic standards.
The Academic Board has two subcommittees with other people co-opted onto the committees. The Learning Teaching and Research Committee manages the day to day academic processes of the College through consultation and reporting. The Academic Standards and Risk Committee ensures the standards the college needs to adhere to are maintained.
The College has extensive processes to maintain the quality of what is delivered to students:
- Overseas Students
- College Board
- Constitution
