Academic Quality Services

Academic Quality Services (AQS) sits within the Academic Registry. Its role is to ensure that all undergraduate, taught postgraduate and postgraduate research programmes at the University of Surrey, our Associated and Accredited Institutions and via collaborative partnerships meet sector requirements for academic standards, and operate within a framework of regulations and quality assurance policies. 

This is achieved by working closely with the individual Faculties (Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences) and by having robust and comprehensive validation, annual and periodic review processes, which every programme goes through, as well as making effective use of the external examiner system and identifying opportunities for continuous enhancement.
