Quality and Standards
<ul>
<li>The University’s Teaching and Learning Committee has ultimate responsibility for quality and standards of teaching and learning in the University.</li>
<li>The School Board, via the School Teaching and Learning Committee has responsibility for implementing University policy through School-defined procedures.</li>
<li>Periodic School and subject reviews take place on a rolling quinquennial programme and focus inter alia on the arrangements for quality management and enhancement, teaching, learning and assessment, C&amp;IT strategies, the articulation and assurances of standards, external examiner reports and evaluation and links with professional bodies, employers and other external organisations.</li>
</ul>
Monitoring, Development and Evaluation
The Course Committee is responsible for the monitoring and development of the course or programme, taking account of feedback from staff, students and external examiners. Feedback is sought as follows:
<ul>
<li>From students through annual course and module evaluation questionnaires, termly Student Panel meetings, input from student members of the Course Committee and the National Student Survey.</li>
<li>From external examiners through annual reports, course assessment board minutes, assessment moderation reports and informal communication during the year.</li>
<li>From Professional Standards and Review Bodies through quinquennial reaccreditation visits.</li>
</ul>
Annual evaluation of the programme is the responsibility of the School Board.  The Course Committee prepares an annual evaluation report comprising reporting and evaluation, informed by feedback from staff, students and external examiners and by statistical data.
Validation of Courses, Modules and Changes
Course validation takes place under the University's <a href="https://www.hud.ac.uk/policies/registry/qa-procedures/">Quality Assurance Procedures for Taught Programmes</a>. Amendments to programme and module documents are validated by the School Accreditation and Validation Panel.
Teaching and Learning
The School Teaching and Learning Committee is tasked with implementing the University's teaching and learning strategy and with fostering innovation in teaching and learning and the dissemination of good practice.
Staff Development Priorities Include
<ul>
<li>Staff Annual Appraisal and institutional staff development courses</li>
<li>Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy</li>
<li>Updating professional developments</li>
<li>Regular course meetings and annual review and planning for subsequent academic year</li>
<li>Engagement in subject specific research conferences, including pedagogical research.</li>
</ul>

UH-000849

The following are used as indicators:
<ul>
<li>Reports of validation panels</li>
<li>Annual course reviews</li>
<li>Annual evaluation report</li>
<li>External examiners’ reports</li>
<li>Qualifications and experience of staff</li>
<li>Report on University Review</li>
</ul>
The programme will be offered for accreditation by the British Computer Society for graduates to enter BCS’s professional entry examinations (CITP) and to obtain the (partial or full) status of Chartered Engineer (CEng) / Chartered Scientist (CSci). Accreditation will normally constitute quinquennial external audit/review.
In the periods between professional institution accreditation visits, quality will be monitored and maintained via the external examining system. The teaching quality of staff responsible for delivering course modules will be assured by a mandatory FHEA requirement. An additional quality indicator will be the significant involvement in the delivery of the programme of staff contributing to Research Excellence Framework submissions.

<ul>
<li>Year Tutors are available to provide guidance on academic progress.</li>
<li>Module Tutors are available to help with academic problems specific to the modules they deliver.</li>
<li>Supporting documentation is provided in the form of student handbooks, module handbooks, programme specifications and module specifications.</li>
<li>The virtual-learning environment, Brightspace, is used to support all modules and year groups.</li>
<li>Lecture Capture is available for a large number of taught classes to aid student learning.</li>

The School of Computing and Engineering provides additional student support using a variety of approaches:
<ul>
<li>All students undertake an induction programme at the start of their studies.</li>
<li>All students have a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT), with whom they should discuss academic difficulties. The PAT will refer tutees to central help facilities as appropriate.</li>
<li>A Guidance Team supports students with a wide range of Learning and Academic skills development. (<a href="https://students.hud.ac.uk/unilife/sce/studentsupport/">Student Support - University of Huddersfield</a>), through seminars, workshops and 1-1 appointments.</li>
<li>A central computer-based attendance-monitoring scheme is operated and students with poor attendance are contacted and advised.</li>
</ul>
The School has a specialised placement unit offering extensive support to students undertaking placements within their course. This includes CV reviews, interview practice, placement searching and guidance on all aspects of the application process.
