Activities
The Unit has completed Cycle 3 academic audits of all eight
universities during 2003-2006. The framework of the
audits was teaching quality, programme delivery and the achievement
of learning outcomes. The reports of all audits in
cycle 3 are available on this website (click
here) and each includes details of the framework.
The nature of the substantive academic audits for Cycle
4 is under discussion with the universities.
The Unit conducts compliance audits of universities against
the Code of practice for the pastoral care of international
students under contract to the Ministry of Education
and with the support of the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee.
During 2007, the Unit will be auditing universities’ quality
assurance processes for Adult and Community Education to
ensure continued Government funding for appropriate courses
offered in this area.
From 2007, the Unit will also be monitoring universities
against the policy statement on PhD supervision of international
students agreed to by the then Minister of Education and
the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee in 2005. This
monitoring is under contract with the Ministry of Education. |
