Quality at Queen Margaret University

Quality Assurance

This website holds the most up to date version of quality assurance procedures. Any changes approved by the University Senate from year to year are incorporated within the sections below. To help prevent the use of out of date versions, and for environmental reasons, the University no longer publishes a hard copy of the Quality Assurance Handbook.
