Programme Approval and Accreditation Details

The purpose of Programme Approval is to validate a new programme of study or revalidate an existing programme to ensure it will provide a high-quality academic experience for students. 

We have a well-founded reputation for quality in learning, teaching and assessment and is committed to sustaining an active community of learners with an emphasis on inclusion, diversity and student achievement. The University seeks to achieve this through the provision of dynamic and progressive learning experiences which emphasise autonomy, independence and life-long learning which give our students confidence, skills and knowledge for life.

At the heart of all the University's learning and teaching activities is its commitment to its Mission Statement which seeks To educate, to advance knowledge and to serve the common good.
