The Colleges of the University of London and the University of London International Academy collaborate to
deliver the University of London International Programmes. The policies, partnerships and systems are
defined within our key documents: The Quality Framework, the Quality Assurance Schedules, Guidelines for
Examinations and Detailed Regulations for each programme.
Parity of award standards
Every programme of study is developed and approved by a Lead College, or Consortia, to the same
standards and requirements as would be applied in the Lead College(s);
Learning materials are written and examinations are set and marked by academic staff employed or
chosen by the Lead Colleges, who are required to apply the University’s academic standards.
Review and evaluation mechanisms
Procedures are in place to assure the quality of the programme development, delivery, management,
systematic monitoring and ongoing review and enhancement of all University of London International
Programmes. Enhancements are made as necessary to ensure that systems remain effective and rigorous.
