Beyond the Baseline: QAA Resource Map
Publication date: 20 Sep 2024
Beyond the Baseline is an overview of QAA resources that have been carefully curated to support the tertiary and higher education sector in going beyond the baseline regulatory requirements as presented in the Office for Students’ (OfS) regulatory framework for HE in England.
It demonstrates how QAA resources relate to the OfS conditions and how they can be used to enhance student learning, teaching and assessment above the regulatory baseline.

Who the resource is for
The resource map is designed to be accessible to a wide audience in the sector. It is intended to help academic and professional support staff who are engaged in securing academic standards and assuring and enhancing quality. It can be used by colleagues in senior management, quality management, academic development, programme leaders, course teams, review committees and students’ unions.
How the resource is structured
The resource map is aligned to the B conditions of registration as set out in the OfS regulatory framework. QAA resources have been arranged under three sub-headings for each condition of registration:
- Sector reference points
- Practical resources
- Network, events and training activities
How to use the resource
The map can be used when developing or reviewing institutional strategies, in policy development and at specific points such as in new programme design, course/programme validations and review, as well as the overall enhancement of provision. It can also support early career academics and quality professionals who may be new to academic standards, quality assurance and enhancement in UK higher education.
