Programmes are assessed in line with the QAA subject benchmark statement for geography, which defines what can be expected of a graduate in terms of the knowledge, understanding, skills and approaches they have gained.

 

Accreditation scheme aims

Through programme accreditation we aim to:

  • Share and promote the benefits of geography for the world beyond higher education

  • Recognise good practice in geography learning and teaching

  • Enhance competitiveness for students in a crowded graduate jobs market

  • Provide a means to support the continuous quality improvement of UK geography degree programmes
