Collaborative Code of Practice for Global Partnerships
Updated on 19 May 2023
The Collaborative Code of Practice supports us in successfully developing and managing academic related partnerships
The Collaborative Code of Practice contains guidance related to
- developing
- delivering
- monitoring
teaching collaborations.
The Collaborative Code of Practice applies to the following types of partnership. This list is not exhaustive and where a new partnership does not fall within these predefined categories the Collaborative Partnership Sub-Committee (CPSC) will determine if it is within the scope of the Code of Practice:
- Memorandums of Understanding
- Study Abroad
- Articulations
- Validation
- Franchise
- Joint, Dual, Double and Multiple Degrees (Taught and Research)
- Branch Campus
- Distance Delivery
- Continuing Professional Development partnerships
To ensure that all new collaborations are appropriately strategic and high-quality, all staff must refer to and use the appropriate guidance and forms prior to any binding discussion or negotiations with an external partner.
Schools should also make contact with the Global Partnerships team at an early stage for professional support in the assessment, business planning, and contract negotiation of any agreement.
