Agenda and Papers - University of Edinburgh

For all reviews, the University Quality Unit is responsible for
• Guidance for review areas and teams, including standard remit, analytical
report format outline, core supporting documentation required for review,
review report format, milestones in review process
• Processing review team external member nominations for approval of
DASQA
• Publishing review report and response on University quality website
For PPR, the College Office is responsible for
• Cross-checking with Quality Unit on staff to be approached as review
conveners and internal team members, to avoid duplication between TPR and
PPR. Forming review teams in time for participation in University review
teams and review areas briefing: Feb/March 2012 for 2012/13 reviews; and
September 2012 for 2013/14 reviews. Colleges and the Quality Unit will
each maintain their own bank of potential team members. A date will be set
annually for Colleges and the Quality Unit to confer on team members they
wish to approach
• Gathering subject-specific remit items for discussion at remit meeting
• Arrangements for the remit meeting convened by the DASQA and preparation
of list of programmes for inclusion in review. The timing of the remit meeting
for PPR need not follow that of TPR exactly (3 months before the review) but
must allow adequate time for review preparations subsequently
• Finalising and circulating remit for review following the remit meeting
• Arranging the internal briefing meeting
• The timetable for the review visit
• Collation and circulation of material to review team. The deadline for
circulation will be a matter for each College but ideally 5 weeks before review

recommendations in College Quality report to SQAC
