The definitive instruments for regulatory purposes remain the TEQSA Act and the Higher Education Standards Framework as amended from time to time.  \n1. Research requirements for Australian Universities  \nThe undertaking of research that leads to new knowledge and original creative endeavour, together with research training, represents a fundamental and defining feature for any higher education provider seeking status as an ‘Australian University’.  \nThis guidance note focusses on the requirements specifically applying to Australian Universities and the quality and quantity of research that is undertaken at an institutional level 1 .  \nIn accordance with the  Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (TEQSA Act) s59A(1) , the quality of research undertaken by a provider must be considered by TEQSA if the provider is:  \n• applying under section 18 for registration in the Australian University category  \n• applying under section 38 to change to the Australian University category  \n• currently in the Australian University category.  \nStandards B1 .3.16-19 of the Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) 2021 (Threshold Standards), set threshold levels for the breadth of research and the quality of research for a provider in the Australian University category.  \nThe ‘benchmark standards’ for research quality are:  \n• research that is World Standard measured using best practice indicators, and/or  \n• research of National Standing in fields specific to Australia, in the case of research that is not easily captured by existing standard indicators (B1 .3. 19) .  \nExisting Australian Universities of ten or more years must undertake research that meets one or both benchmark standards set out above and leads to the creation of new knowledge and original creative endeavour in:  \n• 50 per cent, or at least three, broad Fields of Education in which the university delivers courses of study (whichever is greater) , or  \n1 TEQSA’s guidance note on Research and Research Training provides more detailed guidance on these areas in relation to Part A of the Threshold Standards.  \n• for universities with a specialised focus , all broad fields of education for which the university has authority to self-accredit (B1 .3. 16) .  \nFor providers entering the ‘Australian University’ category from 1 July 2021 or have been established as an ‘Australian University’ for less ten years (and are yet to meet the standard in B1 .3. 16) , the university must undertake research that meets one or both benchmark standards for research quality in:  \n• 30 per cent, or at least three, broad Fields of Education in which the university delivers courses of study (whichever is greater) , or  \n• for universities with a specialised focus , all Fields of Education for which the university has the authority to self-accredit (B1 .3. 17) .  \nHowever, within ten years of entry into the ‘Australian University’ category, these providers must meet the requirements outlined in B1 .3.16. Once a university has met the requirements of B1 .3.16 it must maintain that standard.  \nTEQSA recognises the quality requirements for research in the Threshold Standards are based on Fields of Education whereas many indicators of research quality are based on Fields of Research (Australian Bureau of Statistics, ANZSRC) . Indicators of research quality based on Fields of Research include national, or other assessments conducted by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and measures of research activity and performance outlined in the Quality of Research Determination (2021) (Determination 2021) . To assist , TEQSA has developed a concordance table that maps the Fields of Education (ASCED2) to the ANZRC3 Fields of Research (Attachment A) .  \nTEQSA also acknowledges that the review of the Australian Re","cbCaijfCLDBmF2jJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijfCLDBmF2jJ","pdf",247627,11,"English","# Research requirements for Australian Universities\n## TEQSA benchmark standards for research quality\n## What TEQSA will look for","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this guidance note?\",\"answer\":\"It provides guidance on the requirements applying to Australian Universities, including the quality and quantity of research at an institutional level.\"},{\"question\":\"When will TEQSA consider the provider’s research quality?\",\"answer\":\"TEQSA will consider research quality when the provider is applying for registration in the Australian University category, applying to change to that category, or already in that category.\"},{\"question\":\"How do research quality benchmarks differ for universities entering the category after 1 July 2021?\",\"answer\":\"They must meet one or both benchmark standards for research quality in at least 30% (or at least three) broad Fields of Education, or all authorized fields for specialized-focus universities, and then meet B1.3.16 requirements within ten years.\"}]","Guidance Note - Research requirements for Australian universities - Version 2.0 - January 2023 | PDF",1792044747,28]
