They also draw attention to other interrelated standards and highlight potential risks to compliance. They do not introduce prescriptive obligations.  \nThe definitive instrument that sets out providers’obligations in delivering higher education remains the Threshold Standards as written by the Higher Education  Standards Panel.  \nIn late 2022, TEQSA consulted stakeholders with a draft version of Research Requirements for Australian Universities and considered all feedback.  \nThis guidance note was finalised on 30 April 2024.  \nThe purpose and intent of the guidance note about research requirements is to support providers who aspire to enter and remain within the Australian University provider category ensure they undertake research at the level and depth required for Australian Universities.  \nFor the full list of guidance notes and resources, please see the TEQSA website.  \n!  \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 (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 and 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 (B1.3.19a)  \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 .3.19b).  \nProviders registered in a category using the title ‘university’before the 2021 Threshold Standards came into effect  \nFor any provider registered in the ‘Australian University’ category after the Threshold Standards 2021 came into force on 1 July 2021 and registered immediately prior to that date in a provider category permitting the use of the word ‘university’, there are two transitional research requirements (B3 . 2):2  \n• Within 5 years, providers must undertake research that meets one or both benchmark standards for research quality and leads to the creation of new knowledge and original creative endeavour in:  \n• 30%, or at least three, broad Fields of Education in which the provider delivers courses of study (whichever is greater), or  \n• (for universities with a specialised focus) all broad Fields of Education for which the provider has authority to self-accredit (B1 .3.17).  \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.  \n2. The provider categories that permitted the use of the word ‘university’ before the Threshold Standards (2021) commenced on 1 July 2021 were: ‘Australian University’, ‘Australian University College’, ‘Australian University of Specialisation’, ‘Overse","cbCaierkPnXrnfLn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaierkPnXrnfLn","pdf",221118,14,"English","# Research requirements for Australian Universities\n## Governance and scope\n## Benchmark standards for research quality\n## Transitional research requirements\n## Indicators of research quality","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of TEQSA’s guidance note on research requirements?\",\"answer\":\"It supports providers aspiring to enter and remain within the Australian University provider category by clarifying the level and depth of research required.\"},{\"question\":\"Which benchmark standards are used to measure research quality?\",\"answer\":\"The benchmarks include world-standard research using best practice indicators and, where research is not easily captured by standard indicators, research of national standing in fields specific to Australia.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the transitional research requirements for providers registered in the Australian University category before 1 July 2021?\",\"answer\":\"Within 5 years, providers must undertake research meeting one or both benchmark standards in 30% (or at least three) broad Fields of Education, or all such fields for specialized-focus universities with authority to self-accredit.\"}]","Guidance note - Research requirements for Australian universities - Version 2.1 - 30 April 2024 | PDF",1792045198,35]
