Break the mould with a new university. In a box.
The UK university sector should be open to new types of institution and stop being such a “closed shop”, says leading academic AC Grayling.
Prof Grayling is the head of the New College of the Humanities, which wants to gain degree-awarding powers.
Under the current system, Prof Grayling says it is “virtually impossible” to set up a new university.
The TDAP criteria are designed to establish that the applicant organisation is a well founded, cohesive and self-critical academic community that can demonstrate firm guardianship of its standards, and that it can engender public confidence in its capacity to maintain the academic standards of the degrees it offers in the UK and, where relevant, overseas.
Applicants must meet the requirements and criteria set out in the 2004 guidance (see below). They must normally be able to demonstrate that:
- they have had at least four consecutive years’ experience, immediately preceding the year of application, of delivering higher education programmes as part of a validating relationship with a UK higher education institution, at a level at least equivalent to level 6 of The framework for higher education qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (see Quality Code, Chapter A1)
- the majority of their higher education students are enrolled on study programmes at level 6 (bachelor’s degree with honours) or above.
