Programme Approval Form: collaborative partners (MSWord)
This form is used to propose a new programme delivered wholly or partially by a collaborative partner organisation. Such programmes may lead either to an award from QMU or a joint or dual degree with another organisation that also has degree awarding powers. It was introduced in 2010 and replaces the former Statement of Intent, Academic and Business Case forms. It is divided into three parts, the first two of which are considered by the Portfolio Development Group and the third by the School Academic Board. For further guidance on the Portfolio Development Group, refer to the Programme Development, Monitoring and Review section of the QA Handbook.

Validation and Review templates
Templates for Validation and Review Documents are available from the Validation and Review section of this website.

Programme Specification (MSWord)
