Faculty Quality Enhancement Teams consider and review departmental mechanisms for monitoring and sustaining the academic standards necessary for achieving stated aims and objectives in relation to teaching and learning within the University, faculty and school plans. They also comment on best practice within schools and help disseminate that within faculties. Each Team writes an annual report on their findings for the Plenary Group of FQET Chairs and Education Committee.
Teams are made up of small groups of academic staff and student representatives - there is one team for each of the six faculties. They interact annually with the academic schools in their faculties. Each year, the Plenary Group of FQET Chairs identifies core themes, which all teams pursue, in addition to covering quality assurance topics relevant to the faculty. An important part of the teams' work is sharing good practice.
