SUBJECT REVIEW PROCESS Introduction University accountability for quality and standards is a key factor in promoting and safeguarding public confidence in Sri Lankan higher education. As higher education is a public good, universities must conscientiously exercise their responsibility for quality and standards.

It deals with eight aspects on the quality of student learning experience, their skills development and achievement for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Subject Review process is introduced by the Committee of Vice-chancellors and Directors (CVCD) and the University Grants Commission (UGC). The Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA) Council of the UGC is now conducting Subject Review and Institutional Review programmes in Sri Lankan universities.
