The Quality Handbook provides the framework which governs learning and teaching at Nottingham Trent University. The Handbook serves as a source of information for both staff and students and covers several policies and guidance which state the processes and procedures that NTU follows when delivering education.
The provisions of the Quality Handbook also applies to students studying at any of our courses at partner institutions.
The associated templates/forms on the NTU Quality Handbook can be found in MyHub. These include: Course change form, Course specification template, Curriculum map exemplar, External specialist commentary template for course changes, Interim course report template, External examiner forms, Teach-out arrangements guidance.
All Quality Handbook templates and guidance related to Collaborations and Partnerships can be found on this page.
