Internal and external quality audits and reviews are now ubiquitous in tertiary education. This subject equips students with knowledge and skills to understand, plan and manage quality audits and reviews in tertiary education for credible processes and productive outcomes. Current challenges and models for quality assurance and audit will be discussed but the main focus is on the practical aspects of managing audit and review activities to add value by improving organizational and academic effectiveness.
