New UUK charter to target ‘low quality’ courses

University leaders set up charter to identify value and quality of university courses in England

Vice-chancellors have pledged to identify “low value” courses in England with the help of a new charter unveiled on 16 November by Universities UK.

UUK said the charter would “help identify and improve potentially low value or low-quality courses” by creating a consistent approach among universities to tackling course quality, sharing best practice and setting out guidance for universities to follow.
