QAA works closely with higher education organisations in England to ensure universities and colleges maintain high levels of quality and academic standards. Because of the range of education institutions, our work in England involves the largest number of review methods. Our work includes institutional-level reviews and higher education in further education colleges.
Current review methods
- Institutional audit is the review process for higher education institutions in England and Northern Ireland.
- Collaborative provision audit looks at how institutions with degree awarding powers maintain the standards of their awards delivered at other colleges or organisations.
- Integrated quality and enhancement review (IQER) is the review method for higher education delivered in further education colleges.
- Access to Higher Education is the method used to review Access validating agencies (AVAs) to award certificates and diplomas to students.
More information about our reviews work is available in the Reviews section.
