Degree Outcomes Statement

Universities in England and Wales are expected to publish a Degree Outcomes Statement as specified by the UK Standing Committee for Quality Assessment (UKSCQA) Statement of Intent to protect the value of UK degrees and to demonstrate how academic standards are monitored and reviewed.

We published our first Degree Outcomes Statement in 2020, and this is the second Statement which was updated in 2024.

The Degree Outcomes Statement provides an overview of the University’s degree classification profile. Student outcomes are critically reviewed annually through the University’s academic quality system, ensuring that academic standards are appropriately set and maintained with reference to external expectations.

The Statement also provides details of assessment practices, governance arrangements, and future actions to protect the academic standards of awards and to enhance learning and assessment to ensure that students can achieve their potential.
