Ongoing Quality Assurance -Universities and Colleges

For universities and other higher education institutions which have credit rated provision, this is the responsibility of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and will form part of their overall monitoring processes of quality assurance generally.

For colleges with credit rated provision, monitoring is carried out by Education Scotland as part of their ongoing monitoring of quality assurance in colleges.
