Programme specifications

A programme specification is a concise description of the intended learning outcomes from a higher education programme, and how these outcomes can be achieved and demonstrated.

QAA has produced guidelines to offer help and guidance to those preparing programmes specifications. They draw on the experience of others in a range of subjects and institutions who have already prepared programme specifications.
