Quality Handbook

Welcome to Aston University's Quality Handbook

The Quality Handbook links to the policies and processes which constitute the University’s quality assurance and enhancement framework. It is a source of information for staff, who can find information, guidance, and policies on a wide range of information relating to quality and academic standards, and students who can find information relevant to their programmes of study within these web pages.

The Quality Handbook is maintained by the University’s Quality Team. You can contact the team and access the pages of the Handbook and associated documents via the links below.
