Part 2: Quality of Provision Quality assessments of higher education
This chapter makes explicit the ability of the OfS to assess the quality of higher education, provided by registered higher education providers in England, by reference to student outcomes. It clarifies the OfS’s ability to apply minimum quality thresholds by reference to expected levels of student outcome which may apply to all English higher education providers in the same way. It also makes clear that the OfS is not required to determine different minimum expected levels to take into account student characteristics and other specified matters.
