The overall aim of Higher Education Review is to inform students and the wider public as to whether a provider:
• sets and maintains UK-agreed threshold academic standards for its higher education awards (or maintains the threshold academic standards of the awards it offers on behalf of its degree-awarding bodies and/or other awarding organisations)
• provides learning opportunities which allow students to achieve those higher education awards and qualifications and meet the Expectations outlined in the Quality Code
• provides information for the general public, prospective students, current students, students on completion of their studies, and those with responsibility for academic standards and quality that is fit for purpose, accessible and trustworthy
• plans effectively to enhance the quality of its higher education provision
