About Academic Quality

Trinity Laban has well-established processes for managing the quality of its programmes and awards, which include self-validated diplomas and certificates of proficiency, and degree programmes awarded by a validating partner, City University London. Full details of our processes can be found in the Academic Quality Handbook, including:

• Annual programme monitoring of all taught programmes, including student feedback mechanisms
• Periodic review of programmes and departments
• Comprehensive programme approval and validation processes, aimed at safeguarding academic standards and enhancing academic quality
• Assessment procedures and regulations
  The external examining system to help monitor academic standards
• Monitoring of collaborative partnerships involved in the delivery of our programmes
• Fair, transparent and consistent admissions policies
• Clear complaint and appeal procedures, for when feedback mechanisms and informal resolution is unsuccessful

The Registry Department manages quality assurance on behalf of the institution, both in respect of internal procedures and in liaison with external bodies such as the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). This includes externally directed activities such as support for the QAA Institutional review process.
