Analysis of accreditation approaches in the Computing sector

Bowers, David S. and Howson, Oliver (2019). Analysis of accreditation approaches in the Computing sector. The Open University, Milton Keynes.

Abstract

This report for the Institute of Coding explores the extant accreditation regimes for Computing in the UK. It seeks to clarify the relationships between the main frameworks and standards, and how these map to some of the issues identified in the Shadbolt review.

Three primary perspectives are identified: academic, technical and competencies. Following an analysis of their key features, this report concludes by suggesting how they might be combined to help address some of the common issues with new graduates identified by Shadbolt.
