Academic quality assurance

Quality assurance involves a number of processes to ensure that programmes and courses are well designed and meet national and international standards.

It also includes the monitoring and review of programmes to ensure that their goals are being achieved and on-going improvements are being made.

The University also undergoes external academic audit by the Academic Quality Agency.

Improving student experience

We ask students to rate their experience of our functions, events, facilities and services through the Student Voice surveys.

Feedback on teaching, courses and tutoring

How the University gathers student feedback on our courses and teaching, what we ask them and how we use their responses.

Academic audit

Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington undergoes a regular audit that involves a self-review and external evaluation of our academic quality.

Academic programme reviews

As part of its commitment to academic quality assurance, the University has established a schedule of academic programme reviews.

Graduating year reviews

All New Zealand universities are required by Universities New Zealand—Te Pōkai Tara to conduct graduating year reviews (GYRs).

Publications

The Academic Office coordinates the statutes, policies and other publications that support quality academic processes and outcomes.
