The University of Strathclyde is committed to delivering high-quality education through diverse and innovative modes of study. Our collaborative programmes and flexible learning policies provide a robust framework for partnerships with external organizations and for delivering education that meets the needs of a diverse student body, wherever they are located.

Policy and Code of Practice on Collaborative Education Provision

This policy addresses collaborative provision leading to awards or joint awards and contains links to useful guidance for staff on drawing up collaborative agreements as well as a glossary of terms. The policy ensures that all collaborative arrangements maintain the University's high academic standards while enabling innovative partnerships with institutions in the UK and internationally.

Collaborative education provision allows Strathclyde to extend its reach and impact by working with partner organisations to deliver programmes that may be jointly designed, delivered, or quality assured. The policy provides clear governance structures and quality assurance processes to ensure that all students on collaborative programmes receive a Strathclyde education of consistent quality, regardless of where or how it is delivered.

Policy for Flexible and Distributed Learning (including e-learning)

The Policy and Code of Practice on Flexible and Distributed Learning provides comprehensive guidance for programmes delivered through non-traditional modes. This policy recognises that learning can take place in multiple contexts and through various technologies, and establishes principles and standards for ensuring quality across all delivery modes.

Flexible and distributed learning encompasses online education, blended learning approaches, distance education, and other innovative delivery methods. The policy ensures that programmes delivered through these modes maintain academic rigor while providing the flexibility that many students require to balance their studies with work, family, and other commitments.

Policy for Flexible Learning Arrangements

The Policy for Flexible Learning Arrangements specifically addresses the individual adjustments and accommodations that may be required to support students with specific learning needs or circumstances. This policy demonstrates the University's commitment to inclusive education and ensures that all students can access their learning effectively. These arrangements may include adjustments for students with disabilities, those experiencing temporary circumstances affecting their studies, or other situations where flexibility in learning delivery or assessment can support student success.
