Dr Robert Hayward

The focus of my substantive role is to have oversight of quality assurance across all programmes in the Business School drawing together and implementing university-wide and OBBS strategies and policies to ensure that our programmes continue to be aligned with regulatory requirements and national benchmarks. In addition, I lead on the strategic approach to new programme development, review and updating of faculty policies relating to teaching, learning and assessment and developing guidance documents for QA processes.

My role also requires me to work with different teams across the university, including with Registry, Student Records and Curriculum Management, Admissions, the International Student Advice Team, Brookes Global, the legal team, Academic Policy and Quality Office, and UK Partnerships and Apprenticeships. I am also involved in multiple steering groups, including TNE partnerships, apprenticeship provision and involvement in University QLIC ensures that I am aware of and contribute to national agendas within QAA and the Office for Students.
