Academic partnerships

Closeup shot of an unrecognisable group of people joining their hands together in a huddle

An academic partnership is defined as any taught module or programme for which we hold ultimate responsibility, but which is delivered, in whole or in part, by another organisation.

We work with a select number of academic partners to deliver curriculum on a collaborative basis and take pride in the high quality and robustness of these long-term partnerships. All partnerships are subject to a rigorous approval process and are regularly monitored to ensure the maintenance of quality and standards. These processes are detailed in chapter 5 of the Quality Management Handbook.

A register of our current academic partners is maintained and published annually on this page.

We are responsible for the processes relating to the approval, review, and closure of academic partnerships, and we work closely with colleagues in the Academic Registry and across faculties to ensure effective management and oversight.
