Maintenance and management of information is the responsibility of the following:
InformationSection
Database of all partnerships involving the SchoolDirectorate Office
List of academic partnerships under the scope of this frameworkAcademic Development Directorate
List of arrangements constituting Collaborative Provision, and reporting of such provision to the QAA, UoL and other interested partiesQA Manager
Lists of arrangements under specific programmes, e.g. Years Abroad and reporting of changes to the Directorate OfficeFaculty Offices

It is frequently the case that to promote friendly and mutually beneficial relationships with other institutions the School signs agreements to explore and develop future programmes, for instance for student exchange or joint programmes of study. These are logged in the Directorate’s database. Where such agreements are taken forward and specific proposals arise (via the Faculty plans) for partnerships in teaching and learning, they are included in the list held by the Academic Development Directorate, which is responsible for ensuring with the Department or Faculty concerned that they are subject to all applicable quality assurance
procedures.

This Framework forms part of the School’s Quality Assurance Handbook and is reviewed annually to ensure that it reflects the current state of the School’s academic partnerships and relevant QAA and other requirements for their management. Updates to this Framework are reported to the Academic Development  Committee, as well as to the Learning & Teaching Quality Committee as part of the Quality Assurance Handbook.
