Academic Partnerships Audits

Academic Partnerships Audit is an additional scrutiny process for high and medium risk programmes and activities which require a higher level of scrutiny to ensure that all operational matters are being appropriately undertaken. Such activities are still subject to other quality assurance processes.

Academic Partnership Audits focus on activities with UG and PGT provision delivered via collaborative academic partnerships. The process ensures that the School's infrastructure is sufficient to support the range of activities and that the partnerships, and any associated risks, are being properly managed.

The outcomes of Academic Partnerships Audits are reported annually to the Scottish Funding Council and the Quality Assurance Agency.
