The Evaluation and Policy Department provides policy and data analysis, insight, and evaluation to support senior management decision-making, with a focus on education and student experience. As well as providing support for various projects, the Department helps to ensure the university meets its obligations set by sector bodies such as the Office for Students. This includes supporting the university’s participation in sector-wide activities such as the Teaching Excellence Framework, the National Student Survey, and Graduate Outcomes Survey.
