ABERYSTWYTH University has welcomed the latest review of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education.

A team of QAA reviewers visited Aberystwyth in April and their report published on 5 August said the university’s academic standards, the quality and enhancement of its student learning opportunities, and the quality of information about its learning opportunities all meet UK expectations.

The review identified as good practice the university’s pre-enrolment process and personalised support for students, including those with specific learning needs.

Prof John Grattan, acting vice-chancellor at Aberystwyth University, said: "I am delighted that the quality and standards of provision at Aberystwyth University have been endorsed by QAA.

The positive findings of QAA’s latest review are testament to the dedication of our staff who work hard at all times to ensure that our academic standards and the quality of our student learning opportunities meet UK expectations.

“We are pleased that the review team highlighted as an example of good practice the pre-enrolment process and personalised support for new students which we offer at Aberystwyth, in particular for those with specific learning needs.

"This finding underlines one of our main priorities here at Aberystwyth which is to enhance all aspects of the student experience."
