All Staffordshire University courses must meet appropriate academic standards, provide current and coherent curricula and offer a high quality student learning experience. In order to achieve this all new courses, whether to be delivered on-campus or at a collaborative partner, are subject to the University's course approval policy and procedure. The course approval process encompasses strategic and quality approval of courses. Further guidance on the production of course information and documentation (including standard University templates) can be found on the Course Information page.
