Areas subject to assessment include:

  • academic programme design and student outcomes;
  • research productivity and societal impact;
  • third mission and stakeholder engagement;
  • strategic planning, governance and resource management.

These evaluations support the Department’s internal quality processes and are a basis for future development and external recognition.
