Higher Education Fitness to Practise Policy and Procedure

Newcastle College University Centre policies and procedures apply to students admitted, registering for or currently undertaking higher education (HE) programmes of study. These courses may lead to professional registration and/or a license to practise in a professional context; they may also include practice-based training or clinical training.

Our policy and procedures document sets out how the University Centre will normally respond to instances where a concern is raised regarding a student’s fitness to practise and the type of action that the University Centre may take to deal with the concern and to support the student.

We are committed to student engagement and the importance of working with students as partners to enhance your higher education learning experience.

Our Higher Education Partnership Strategy has been co-authored by students and staff to outline how our higher education provision will be shaped through working in partnership over the coming years.

The Strategy provides a framework and platform for engaging with our students to promote a range of opportunities, allowing you to engage in educational enhancement and quality assurance. This includes our Student Fellowship Programme, which provides funded opportunities for undergraduates and postgraduates to support enhancement projects in partnership with staff.
