Academic Unit Reviews

The Academic Unit reviews process is an integral part of the University's Quality Assurance process. All Academic Units are subject to review as part of a seven year cycle. Oversight of these reviews is the responsibility of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Student Learning).

    • assess School鈥檚/Unit鈥檚 standing, nationally and internationally, in relation to appropriate benchmarking;
    • evaluate School鈥檚/Unit鈥檚 ability to sustain and enhance general operations, and if applicable, educational and research operations in the context of the University鈥檚 strategic goals, its resources and internal and external opportunities;
    • evaluate quality of School/Unit governance, management and enhancement processes, including approaches to working with students as partners and to external engagement;
    • assess School鈥檚/Unit鈥檚 progress since the previous review, with reference to the outcomes of the implementation plan in response to the recommendations of that review;
    • identify and give recognition to best practice and successful outcomes;
    • identify strategic and operational opportunities, and priorities for enhancement, including for research performance and academic portfolio refresh and development;
