Quality is the journey from a starting point, considering all aspects of learning and the students-experiences. Outcomes are the destination- what the students have gained, achieved and demonstrated when they reach the destination.
Although there is no internationally recognized definition of academic standards and quality in higher education, nevertheless academic standards describe the level of achievement that a student has to reach to gain an academic award (for example, a degree). Academic quality describes how well the learning opportunities available to students help them to achieve their award. It is about making sure that appropriate and effective teaching, support, assessment and learning opportunities are provided.
