National Review of Awarding Arrangements

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) has published the scope of a review [PDF] which will consider the arrangements for the awarding of qualifications across Scottish universities.

This review follows on from publication of the QAA Targeted Peer Review of the University of Glasgow. It will be carried out by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) with a view to providing assurance to SFC, beyond that provided by existing quality assurance mechanisms, that arrangements for the awarding of qualifications are being applied consistently, effectively and transparently; and that academic standards are being maintained.

To allow a comprehensive and robust process to take place, it is envisaged that the review will take place over a number of months and it is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2026.

SFC is committed to an open and transparent process.
