Establishing academic standards

Establishing academic standards - Gavin Moodie, 28 February 2010 University World News

This time last year a UK parliamentary committee of inquiry asked the vice-chancellor of Oxford University John Hood and the vice-chancellor of Oxford Brookes University Janet Beer: "Is an honours degree in history from Oxford University worth the same as an honours degree in history from Oxford Brookes?"


The Guardian reported that Hood replied: "At Oxford, we apply a consistent standard in awarding degree classifications. We use external examiners and we take their assessments very, very seriously."
