Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA)

The College underwent a gateway review of it’s HE provision in May 2021 by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education [QAA]. A link to the report and the action plan is available below.

The overall aim of Gateway Quality Review is to provide HEFCW with an expert judgement about the quality assurance of a provider's HE provision.

The Gateway Quality Review is designed to:

  • Ensure that the student interest is protected
  • Provide expert advice to ensure that the reputation of the UK higher education system is protected, including the protection of academic standards
  • Identify areas for development and/or specified improvements that will help a provider to meet the baseline regulatory requirements.

We will continue to monitor our action plan. If you have any comments please contact the HE Manager: Holly Donohoe (h.donohoe@gcs.ac.uk)
