ACSA 10th Anniversary
On 12 June 2024, we held an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ACSA scheme. We asked members of the ACSA committee, ACSA leads of recently accredited or reaccredited departments and experienced ACSA reviewers to speak on their experiences with ACSA.
On this page you can find the recordings of the day's lectures and the slideshow, which we hope will be helpful to both ACSA leads and ACSA reviewers.
We will be holding an event annually for leads and reviewers. The next event will be held on Wednesday 9th June 2025.
The agenda for the day is below. If you want to watch a specific session, please go to the timestamps indicated. The PowerPoint slides are available to download at the bottom of this page.
