About the document:
Our 'SWS' document was compiled on behalf of students for the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education in England and Wales (QAA). The document was produced from a thorough research exercise carried out by us into the views of our students on their academic experiences and being a student at the titled 'University College Winchester'.
The SWS was produced as part of the 'Institutional Audit' of our parent institution. The QAA checks on (audits) all UK universities every five years, and in 2005 that included Winchester!
Identifying student views forms an important part of making sure quality of education is maintained at all institutions, as the standard of degrees and other qualifications should be equally high no matter where they are undertaken.
If you would like to know more about the process of Institutional Audit or about academic standards and quality in general, please contact the RUD (Representation) Co-ordinator, Academic Affairs Officer, or the Union President (see the who's who section of this site for contact info).
