Monitoring of degree programmes at levels 7-10 - overview
After a degree programme at New Zealand Qualifications Framework level 7 and above is approved, NZQA appoints an independent monitor for the degree. The monitor visits the tertiary education organisation annually to check if the degree is being delivered as approved and reports back to NZQA.
NZQA follows up any recommendations from the report with the tertiary education organisation.
After a suitable amount of time, NZQA can give the tertiary education organisation permission to self-monitor.
