✦ Synopsis

For the purposes of this chapter, the term quality assurance is taken to embrace the various activities by which the Scottish public higher education system as a whole assures itself that the quality of education provided in each institution meets the stated objectives. Some of these activities are for the most part conducted internally by the institutions themselves; others are primarily conducted externally by other bodies. The focus in this chapter is on quality assurance in relation to teaching and learning, not on quality assurance for research. The latter is undertaken every four years through a research assessment exercise that is discussed elsewhere in this volume (see Chapter Four by Elizabeth Stanley and William Patrick).
