Credit

As part of the Curriculum Management project, the University is launching a new Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), designed to replace the previous Credit and Module Framework. Developed by the Education Policy and Quality team in dialogue with academic departments, the new QCF brings greater clarity and coherence to how Warwick qualifications are structured and awarded. The framework is not intended to introduce new regulations but rather to better reflect current practice and expectations across the institution.

While preserving the core principles of the Credit and Module Framework, the QCF refines and simplifies guidance on academic credit, aligning more clearly with sector standards and regulatory expectations. It is designed to support the implementation of the Curriculum Management system and to evolve alongside wider initiatives such as Online Programme Management and the Reform of Academic Regulations.

The QCF will be implemented through a gradual approach, whereby all proposals for new and revised courses submitted from the start of the academic year 2025/26 should conform to the guidelines in the new framework.
