"All programmes in the country are standardised and cover the same required topics, so the only major difference there can be is the way these topics are presented to students"
Undergraduate degree courses being standardised - since when? We don't even have the same high school level courses and exams across the UK...
- biofox 5y agoThe QAA and BCS have a set of national benchmarks and course descriptors that degree programmes have to follow if they want to be validated or accredited. There's a lot of flexibility within them for specialist modules, but some key topics have to be covered in all.
- etothepii 5y agoThe idea that these benchmarks have anything meaningful to add is a ludicrous. If you think a 1st from Anglia Ruskin is Comparable with a 2nd from Cambridge you need your slide rule checked.
- blitzar 5y agoOnly the person who went to cambridge would know what a slide rule is.
- arethuza 5y agoAnd, of course this being the UK, there is more than one QAA :-)
