Our Purpose and Values
Our Purpose
CADQ's purpose was developed collaboratively with colleagues across our department, looking at why CADQ exists and the impact of our work on students, colleagues and the wider society.
we make learning better through innovation and partnership.
Whether we are developing new teaching pedagogies, designing online modules, or ensuring that the programmes we offer at NTU are of the upmost and robust quality; all aim to make learning better for everyone in the NTU community, students, staff and beyond.
