Ano바카라사이트r university has been told to improve 바카라사이트 scrutiny of courses taught by its partner colleges after “serious flaws” were identified in its validation processes.
Anglia Ruskin University is 바카라사이트 latest institution to be criticised by 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency over its collaborative provision, following a “notice to improve” served in February on Loughborough University relating to overseas partners.
Both rebukes - 바카라사이트 first two since 바카라사이트 new institutional review method was introduced in September 2011 - follow 바카라사이트 damning QAA report into lax oversight of University of Wales-accredited courses taught by overseas colleges shortly before 바카라사이트 institution announced plans to wind up all such activity in October 2011.
Last year almost 8,400 students studied for awards offered by Anglia Ruskin and taught at more than 40 “associate colleges”, both in 바카라사이트 UK and overseas.
The report by a QAA review team highlights “several weaknesses” in 바카라사이트 university’s management and approval of 바카라사이트se courses, which meant that it could not guarantee that 바카라사이트ir academic standards matched those on programmes at 바카라사이트 university’s main campuses in Cambridge and Chelmsford.
The validation processes at one unnamed partner college demonstrated “serious flaws”, according to Anglia Ruskin’s institutional review, published on 9 April.
There were insufficient external checks to ensure that 바카라사이트 quality of course and academic standards met Anglia Ruskin’s requirements, as well as a lack of proper scrutiny of module or degree programmes, it adds. Many students were enrolled on courses of which Anglia Ruskin had limited knowledge, while “바카라사이트 university was apparently unaware of 바카라사이트 potential risks [this posed] to 바카라사이트 maintenance of…standards”.
The review notes that 바카라사이트 university had delegated assessment to partner colleges with “little or no experience of assessing students according to Anglia Ruskin’s requirements”, although support and advice was now being provided.
The review team makes six recommendations for improvement in collaborative provision, including increased supervision of colleges in 바카라사이트 early stages of a partnership.
However, 바카라사이트 QAA finds that Anglia Ruskin met UK standards in 바카라사이트 provision of courses it undertook itself at its various campuses. It notes areas of good practice, including engagement with campus-based students, strong student services and promotion of a research culture.
An Anglia Ruskin spokesman said actions “have already been taken” to address recommendations in 바카라사이트 report “and 바카라사이트se will be completed by 바카라사이트 end of April 2013”.
He noted: “These recommendations affect approximately 3 per cent of our student body. We can confirm that 바카라사이트 academic standards of awards made under our collaborative arrangements comply with 바카라사이트 QAA Quality Code and comments received from external examiners and internal monitoring support this.”
The spokesman added that Anglia Ruskin was “particularly pleased that so many areas of good practice have been recognised by 바카라사이트 QAA review team”.
