The Academic Standards & Quality Enhancement Committee, through the Learning Enhancement Directorate and its Centres, keeps under review academic governance arrangements related to taught programmes of study and the student experience. This authority is derived from the University's Charter, Statutes, Ordinances and General Regulations, and delegated from Senate per the University's Delegated Authority Framework.
In June 2024, Senate approved a standardised set of regulations for all taught programmes effective from the September of academic year 2024/25 onwards. These regulations are reviewed yearly with the most recently approved version are available below. Archived versions for the previous standardised set of regulations for all taught programmes (from 2024/25 ) are available via Sharepoint (UU Staff Login required) 2024/25 and 2025/26
Programme regulations prior to the academic year 2024/25 can be accessed in programme handbooks
Individual cases to depart from these Regulations are considered by the Regulations Sub-Committee of the Academic Standards and Quality Enhancement Committee. In cases where there may be a discrepancy between previously approved programme specifications and the current version of the University's Regulations for Taught Programmes, the Regulations take precedence, unless a departure has been approved by the Regulations Sub-Committee.
