Programme Annual Review
The Programme Annual Review (PAR) for taught programmes is the cornerstone of the University's quality assurance processes. The PAR is an evaluation of a programme(s) over an academic year involving careful reading and evaluation of evidence, followed by the writing up of conclusions based on that evidence. The PAR should be a self-reflective process for the Programme Team(s), providing analysis of past performance and the development and implementation of evidence-based action plans for the future.

Periodic review of collaborative programmes
The periodic review of an existing collaborative programme is a means of assuring excellence of quality and academic standards. Programmes are reviewed in a five-year cycle and this process forms the basis on which partnerships are approved for continuation. As part of the review, partners will submit their programme specification for revalidation and this provides an opportunity for partners to make revisions to the programme. The should be accompanied by a context paper, outlining the rationale for the re-design of the programme.
