Collaborative partnership approval and management
De Montfort University’s (DMU) key values include a commitment to work in the wider community, to promote widening participation, and to be a truly international university. The university's collaborative activity is therefore an important strand of its operation. DMU has a strong network of partnerships both in the UK and overseas, most of which have developed over a long period of time.

The Collaborative Partnership Approval and Management Policy seeks to guide decision-making within the university with respect to the approval, monitoring, review and closure of collaborative partnerships and the programmes delivered therein.
The policy applies to all provision within the university’s collaborative partnership portfolio that leads to the award of academic credit or a qualification.
Academic Quality Services (AQS) are responsible for the development and maintenance of the Collaborative Partnership Approval and Management Policy and for managing collaborative partnership approval, modification, review, termination and closure procedures.
