Institutional reviews
As a Designated Awarding Body, RCSI is subject to periodic institutional review by Quality & Qualifications Ireland (QQI), which bears statutory responsibility for the approval of our QA policies and procedures and for periodic review of their effectiveness.
Our next institutional review will take place in 2022-2023 as part of the QQI ‘CINNTE’ cycle of institutional reviews which commenced in 2017.
Previously, RCSI has undergone two institutional reviews.
An institutional review was conducted in 2009 by an international review panel convened jointly by the HEA and the NQAI as part of the process which led to the activation of degree-awarding powers in 2010.
