Information and guidance

The Quality Code is the definitive reference point for all those involved in delivering higher education which leads to an award from or is validated by a UK higher education provider. It makes clear what institutions are required to do, what they can expect of each other, and what the general public can expect of all higher education providers. These Expectations express key matters of principle that the higher education community has identified as important for the assurance of quality and academic standards.

This Chapter of the Quality Code is based on the key principle that the delivery of learning opportunities with others, wherever and however organised, should widen learning opportunities without prejudice either to the academic standard of the award or the quality of what is offered to students.

A consultation report  which summarises the feedback given in the consultation for this Chapter will be available soon.

   
The previous version of this Chapter, which will be used in reviews until December 2013, is also available.
