Nordoff Robbins

Course management and quality assurance

Programme management

The programme is managed by the Programme Director and the Research Degrees Programme Committee. They interface with the managing structures of the training programme through Board of Studies. They in turn report to the Nordoff Robbins/City University Course Board and to the Education Committee.

Monitoring of Course

The Programme Director gives regular reports to the Course Board on the development of the programme and of the students on it. This is based on:

  • Informal feedback presented by a student representative who attends part of the Board of Studies.
  • Formal feedback, sought from students on an annual basis and collated into an annual report presented to the Course Board. The Programme Director is accountable to the CEO of Nordoff Robbins and through her to the Board of Governors of Nordoff Robbins.
