HSU Degree Outcomes Statement 2024 - 2025

The statement is intended to show how institutions meet the relevant expectations of the UK Quality Code for Higher Education on safeguarding the value of qualifications, as well as the Office for Students’ ongoing conditions of registration relating to academic standards. HSU’s most recent Degree Outcomes Statement can be found below.
