Quality Assurance and General Assessment Regulations
The Quality Assurance and Enhancement Procedures are outlined in TU Dublin’s Handbook
for Academic Quality Enhancement which is available to download from the TU Dublin City
Campus website.
http://www.dit.ie/qualityassuranceandacademicprogrammerecords/handbook/
This document explains in detail the process of monitoring and enhancing the quality of TU
Dublin programmes. For instance, it lays out the role of internal and external examiners in
quality enhancement. TU Dublin relies on the feedback from students, programme tutors,
internal examiners and external examiners in its annual monitoring of programmes and
modules.
An annual monitoring report in relation to the functioning of the programme in the past
academic year is prepared by the Programme Committee and submitted through the Head
of School (or nominee) to the College Board. This is a two-part process: the first part at the
end of the academic year (June) deals with the proposal of major or minor modifications to
the programme and their approval, while the final report is submitted and considered in the
autumn term (November) of the succeeding academic year.
College and School Management
The Dean and Director of the College of Arts and Tourism, Mr. John O’Connor, is responsible
for the strategic, operational and academic leadership of the College. He his assisted by the
College Manager, Ms. Andrea Marcelin. The College has a College Leadership Team (CLT),
consisting of the Heads of School within the College, which meets on a weekly basis, and a
College Board, consisting of the management team of all Schools and elected staff and
student’s union representatives, which meet once a month.
The School Executive, consisting of the Head, Assistant Heads, and structured lecturer of the
School meet on a weekly basis.

to be allocated for individual work and any peer moderated components.
