Annual Quality Report (AQR)
The Annual Quality Report (AQR) is a requirement of Quality & Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and is part of the Cyclical Review Policy for Higher Education Institutions.
The AQR is an annual report about internal quality assurance that institutions provide to QQI. The AQR template has been developed with reference to the ENQA (the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) European Standards and Guidelines, upon which QQI's Core Statutory Quality Assurance Guidelines are based. You can find out more about the AQR process on the QQI website

It acts as a centralised resource for Trinity approved policies and procedures in compliance with the QQI Core Statutory Requirements and European Standards Guidelines. It is a useful resource for Schools, programmes or administrative areas undergoing professional or statutory body or professional registration body reviews.
- Parts 2-6 of the AQR have a focus on quality review and quality enhancement.
