Principles of Validation

The application form allows you to show how you will demonstrate your organisation's ability to meet the principles of institutional approval. This will provide us with an outline to help us consider your application to become a partner and will then be reviewed and tested as part of the institutional approval process to ensure that you are able to deliver Higher Education awards. The principles are as follows:

1. Provision of an appropriate learning environment.

2. Independence of institutional ownership from the exercise of academic authority.

3. Appropriate academic organisation and the administrative structure to support it.

4. Robust and rigorous quality assurance and enhancement informed by the UK Quality Code.

5. Relations with the wider academic community.

Further details can be found within the Handbook for Validated Awards (need to add a hyperlink direct to section B2 which covers the principles)
