Undergraduate Academic Framework

The Academic Board has approved the Undergraduate Academic Framework, which provides the regulatory arrangements for all undergraduate work. This followed a period of consultation within the University, together with a review by a panel which included external representatives. Sincere thanks are extended to all who contributed to this process.

Unlike validations, which are limited to five years, the Academic Framework will remain in place until such time as the University decides to change the arrangements. There will be periodic reviews of the Framework, and adjustments made where this is necessary.
