University of Wales Validation Board www.wales.ac.uk
The Validation Board was established in 1974 and has responsibility for advising the Academic Board on all matters relating to the validation of degree and other schemes of study offered at centres outside the University of Wales itself. The Board's formal terms of reference are set out in the Academic Regulations.
The Validation Board:
- Gives preliminary consideration to all requests for validation made to the University
- Organises the establishment of specialist panels of assessors to give detailed consideration to a full submission
- Receives the reports of the specialist panels and decides whether or not to recommend to the Academic Board the acceptability of the schemes of study in question
- Monitors on a regular basis the development of each scheme of study it has recommended for approval
The Board consists of a representative from each of the Member Institutions of the University and one representative of the Regulations and Special Cases Committee. Associated Institutions who are involved in international validation activity are also represented on the Board. The Board normally meets on three occasions during each academic session.
