SECTION 5 QUALITY ASSURANCE • Criteria for awards • Graduate School, Research Institutes and Schools • Research Degrees Committee • Quality Assurance Committee. 5.1 Criteria for awards Standards <strong>of</strong> awards are assured in part by having clearly articulated criteria for awards which conform to national standards (see Annex A1), and a single set <strong>of</strong> recommendations for examiners with clear guidance about circumstances in which they should be used (see Annex A2). 5.2 Graduate School, Research Institutes and Schools 5.2.1 Research Institutes have the primary responsibility for the delivery <strong>of</strong> research degree programmes. Schools and Research Institutes have responsibility for the delivery <strong>of</strong> research training modules. The Graduate School Board has the responsibility for monitoring the quality <strong>of</strong> research degree programmes delivered by Research Institutes and the overall quality <strong>of</strong> the research training programme delivered by Research Institutes and Schools. 5.2.2 The Graduate School Board, including representation from each Research Institute and from students, is a principal mechanism for ensuring consistency <strong>of</strong> process across the University, spread <strong>of</strong> good <strong>practice</strong>, and identification <strong>of</strong> issues to be addressed. 5.2.3 The Graduate School Board is responsible for developing mechanisms for obtaining feedback from students about the quality <strong>of</strong> research degree provision and for addressing issues arising as appropriate. (See also COP section 6) 5.3 Research Degrees Committee 5.3.1 The Research Degrees Committee (RDC) is responsible for considering reports and recommendations from examiners and for agreeing a final recommendation to Senate. In carrying out this role they will have particular regard to the following: • Whether examiners have taken appropriate account <strong>of</strong> the criteria for awards • Whether there is consistency between the detail <strong>of</strong> each report and the recommendation • Whether there is sufficient agreement between the examiners for a joint recommendation to be appropriate • Whether reports provide sufficient guidance about required revisions (a) for the Committee to determine whether the recommendation should be minor revisions or resubmission, and (b) for the candidate to make the necessary revisions • Whether the reports are an adequate basis on which to make any recommendation. 5.3.2 The Research Degrees Committee also has a role in ensuring the quality and consistency <strong>of</strong> research degree programmes by monitoring and approving matters with respect to individual staff and students, on the basis <strong>of</strong> recommendations from Research Institutes: COP on PGR Degrees, November 2011 33
