We have a variety of different types of collaborative provision that each offer different ways of sharing our academic provisions. Our different types of collaborative partnerships are as follows:
Distance learning
Distance learning is a mechanism where a student studies at a distance. In doing so, the University retains overall responsibility for the programme’s content, delivery mechanisms, assessment and quality assurance arrangements.
Dual awards
A dual award describes collaborative arrangements under which two or more awarding institutions together provide programmes leading to separate awards being granted by both, or all of them.
Franchise
Franchising is a formal process by which the University, as an awarding institution, agrees to authorise the provision of the whole or part of one or more of its own approved programmes by a partner organisation. The University retains overall responsibility for the programme’s content, delivery, assessment and quality assurance arrangements.
