The Faculty of Business and Law (FBL) Masters programme of the OU Business School has recently had its Periodic Quality Review (PQR) and we’d like to share the positive outcomes of this with you.
The PQR is one of the university’s monitoring and review activities that provides each area with the opportunity to holistically review the quality and standards of the last six years, ensuring both quality assurance and enhancement of the student journey.
During the PQR, the panel reviewed a host of evidence and heard feedback from students, associate lecturers, external advisers and other colleagues to reach a positive judgement on the academic quality and standards of the FBL Masters provision.
We would like to thank again the group of students who met with the review panel to express their views and share their experiences of studying FBL Masters modules and qualifications.
The panel made 7 commendations and 8 recommendations, some of which are summarised here:
