HE Provision Inspection

In 2014 the Quality Assurance Agency carried out the Higher Education provision inspection at Carmel College. This included the BA Hons Graphic Design Degree with The University of Salford and, in addition, all the Year Zero provision of The University of Liverpool.

Dean of HE, Carmen Nunez, commented;

“The review was extremely rigorous and thorough so we are obviously delighted to receive such a positive report. At Carmel, we pride ourselves on doing the very best for all our students. Working closely with our university partners to prepare them for the next stage of their academic careers. We are pleased that the team recognised several examples of excellent practice, as well as providing some recommendations which will help us enhance our provision even further.”
