Imperial defines collaborative provision as:

“all learning opportunities leading or contributing to the award of academic credit or a qualification that are delivered, assessed or supported through an arrangement with one or more organisations other than the degree-awarding body.”

The College has the ultimate responsibility for the academic standards of all the awards, (including collaborative awards) conferred in its name, and for the quality of its learning opportunities, irrespective of where these are delivered or who provides them. Imperial will only enter into a collaborative partnership with another institution/organisation whose quality of provision, mission, vision and ethos are compatible with that of the College.

Information on the processes for establishing, monitoring and reviewing collaborative provision can be found below. Please note these processes do not apply to placements or student exchanges – information about these activities can be found on the Placement learning page.
