The Office for Students (OfS) has opened an investigation into Leeds Trinity University over its franchised provision.
“Potential concerns” had been identified at the institution that “require further scrutiny”, the regulator said in a statement.
Courses delivered by Leeds Trinity’s subcontracted partners will be looked at to check if they are high quality, according to the OfS.
It will also check whether the university has “effective management and governance in place for subcontractual partners” and consider whether it has “complied with general ongoing conditions of registration, and any matters relevant to the provider’s authorisation for degree-awarding powers in relation to its partnerships”. One area of focus is whether Leeds Trinity “has complied with the requirements relating to provision of information to the OfS”.
