 Institutional Review Reports - Glasgow Caledonian University
The team commends the University for the establishment of the internal audit process, whilst recognising that, over time, the University might be able to move the process toward a 'lighter touch' as it develops confidence in the effectiveness of its approach to quality management.
Thus students entering the University have 'not achieved the same depth of knowledge in specific subjects before they enter University as is the case in the rest of the UK', and 'some staff also expressed the view that students on entry lacked some of the skills and competencies necessary to study at degree level'.
The University is conscious of the issues associated with its approach to the management of standards, open-minded about how well the system works in practice, and capable of taking action in response to any problems that may emerge as the system adapts to the requirements of new external frameworks.
