Quality and Academic Development team

At Essex, we value the highest academic and professional standards and aim to be internationally recognised for the quality of teaching, learning facilities and educational experience offered to students.

The University must meet external regulations and standards to operate as a Higher Education institution. From ensuring the academic quality of courses and regulating the appointment of External Examiners, to enabling effective opportunities for students to feedback, the Quality and Academic Development team support and enhance activity across a broad range of areas.
