The Module Lead is responsible for the organisation and running of their module. The role of Module Lead will vary by School.
The quality assurance aspects of the role are detailed in various locations in the Quality Handbook. This page has drawn these together in the tabs below, although this should not be considered an exhaustive list.
This page has been created to help those acting as a Module Lead to access the Quality Assurance information that they will need for the role. The information in the tabs below is generic and its interpretation and implementation may differ across Schools.
Additionally, some Schools may offer additional resources and guidance for staff, have different reporting structures, or set alternative deadlines to meet their governance needs.
Advice should be sought from the Faculty CQA team in the first instance.
The completion of Annual Module Reports has been held in abeyance for a further year (23-24) so there is no requirement to complete an Annual Module Report. However, if there is something specific that you believe needs to be raised with the Programme Lead, or needs to be more widely shared, you should request a conversation with the Programme Lead to discuss whether it could be included in the Annual Programme Report.
More information about Annual Monitoring can be found via the Annual Monitoring Portal .
