PSRB Guidance
This page offers comprehensive information and links to guide University of Greenwich staff, ensuring the university's programs meet the standards set by relevant professional bodies.
The PSRB (Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies) Guidance is part of the quality assurance framework. It involves continuous reflection on programs using student feedback, external examiner reports, annual monitoring metrics, and sector developments to maintain relevance and quality.
Maintaining strong and effective relationships with PSRBs is essential for ensuring accreditation, compliance, and the enhancement of academic standards. To support this, it is critical that faculty staff responsible for managing PSRB relationships communicate relevant developments to the central Quality Assurance (QA) team. This guidance sets out expectations and processes to ensure accurate record-keeping and effective institutional oversight.
