The Degree Apprenticeship Internal Quality Review (IQR) is the UoN’s annual quality assurance and enhancement review process of degree apprenticeship programmes.
IQRs are an integral part of the quality assurance and enhancement processes for degree apprenticeships, working together with the Self-Assessment Report (SAR) and Quality Improvement Plan (QIP), with each process informing the next in a cyclical manner.
The IQR is a supportive and collaborative process focusing on enhancement to ensure quality assurance compliance as well as encouraging continuous improvement.
All recruiting degree apprenticeship programmes are subject to an annual IQR from the year following the first full year of delivery. Teaching out degree apprenticeship programmes will continue to be subject to an annual IQR until all apprentices have completed the taught element of the programme.
The IQR is designed to:
- Highlight areas of good practice and positive achievements
- Identify areas requiring development can be and discussed and avenues of support
- Ensure oversight of the assurance and enhancement of the education and student experience of degree apprentices
The IQR Process, including roles and responsibilities, is detailed in the IQR Process Document.
