Collaborative provision

Working in partnership is central to the academic mission of Canterbury Christ Church University.

Collaborative provision is a type of partnership in which:

"learning opportunities leading or contributing to the award of academic credit or a qualification … are delivered, assessed or supported through an arrangement with one or more organisations other than the degree-awarding body"

Collaborative courses require start-up and monitoring procedures additional to those in place for courses delivered exclusively by the University. Full details of the way in which the University approves and manages collaborative partnerships are available in the Quality Manual.
