Academic Governance Introduction

City of London College is committed to delivering a high-quality educational experience that enables students to achieve their academic and professional ambitions. Academic governance provides the framework through which the College safeguards academic standards, monitors student outcomes, promotes continuous improvement and ensures that students remain at the centre of academic decision-making.

The College’s Academic Governance Framework provides oversight of academic quality, standards, student outcomes and continuous improvement. It operates alongside the corporate governance arrangements of the Board of Governors and ensures that academic matters receive appropriate scrutiny, challenge and independent oversight.

Academic governance is founded on the principles of academic integrity, student-centred decision-making, evidence-based review and continuous enhancement. Through its committees, academic leadership teams and student representation arrangements, the College seeks to ensure that programmes remain relevant, academically rigorous and responsive to the needs of students, employers and awarding partners.
