The King's Marking Framework is an important reference point for setting and maintaining academic standards across the University.

The framework includes:

The King's Marking Framework provides guidance for all assessment practices and promotes consistency across taught programmes with the aim of enhancing the student experience of assessment. 

The King's Marking Criteria also provides a frame for the setting of learning outcomes and supports faculties and assessment sub-boards in refining their faculty, discipline or assessment-specific marking criteria.
