Periodic Programme Review (PPR)
Periodic Programme Review is the process whereby a subject’s taught programmes are reviewed, modified and re-approved through self-evaluation and peer review. It is designed to enable the University to have confidence in the ongoing standards, currency, coherence, and relevance of a subject’s provision, and that all students achieve their intending learning outcomes. Periodic reviews typically occur every 5 years.

Strategic Review
The University employs Strategic Review to manage its academic portfolio. This is a business process which informs quality, but it is not a quality assurance process.
