The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is an independent organisation responsible for maintaining and enhancing the provision of higher education in the United Kingdom This is done through a system of peer-review, with reviews being conducted to ensure degree-awarding institutions meet the expectations of the higher education sector. Reviewers assess an institution against the UK Quality Code for Higher Education with a review team comprising of academics from other institutions, a student reviewer and a review manager who co-ordinates the review. My role as a QAA Student Reviewer involves significant desk-based research prior to a review. This research is primarily based around reading a Self-Evaluation Document provided by the institution as well as a Student Submission supplied by the Students' Union, which help give insight into the institution and develop lines of enquiry. There are then preparatory meetings, before finally visiting an institution (for up to a week) in order to meet with staff, students, and other key stakeholders. At the end of the review, a report is published outlining the extent to which the institution has met the Quality Code. Practically speaking, I am involved in chairing several meetings whilst at the institution, as well as writing up sections of the report based upon my lines of enquiry. Furthermore, given I am a Student Reviewer, I have the added responsibility of ensuring the student voice is heard throughout the review of an institution too.
