The purpose of the Academic Monitoring Assurance Group (AMAG) is to monitor the management of quality assurance in relation to academic provision and the student experience. Responsibilities and composition of the group are included in the AMAG remit (PDF, 23 KB). The parent committee is the Audit and Risk Committee through which AMAG reports to Court. AMAG also reports regularly to the Teaching, Learning and Assessment Committee (TLAC).
