Standards and quality framework for learning, teaching and research training

Standards and quality framework for learning, teaching and research training

The framework defines and articulates standards for learning, teaching and research training, and provides a systematic means for managing and reporting on the quality and performance of university programs measured against our standards and to externally mandated standards.

The standards apply to all taught courses and higher degree research courses and describe what teachers, supervisors and those who support teaching need to know, understand and put into practice. They also describe what students and HDR candidates can expect from their learning experience at UOW.
