The Authority has now completed the review of the effectiveness of quality assurance procedures in the Dublin Institute of Technology. The Authority supports the recommendations that relate specifically to quality assurance in the review team report, and the measures that the Institute is putting in place to respond to them. The Authority has drawn particular attention to the following issues:

the need to implement more proactively and to review the annual programme reporting processes in order to encourage full participation by both students and staff, and in order to ensure greater transparency in the student feedback process
the need to accelerate the development of the emerging systems for school, faculty and research review
