The London Institute of Actuarial Studies (LIAS) is structured to ensure academic rigour, professional alignment, and long-term institutional stability. Our governance framework reflects established UK higher education norms and professional practice benchmarks.
The Academic Board is the supreme academic authority of LIAS. It is responsible for the oversight of academic standards, the approval of curricula, and the maintenance of assessment rigour.
Its remit includes:
LIAS operates with a clear commitment to the standards set by MFHEA Malta. While maintaining operational independence, our policies on admissions, complaints, and academic misconduct are modelled on international best practices for higher education providers.
All academic provision at LIAS is subject to a rigorous quality assurance cycle. This includes annual programme monitoring, periodic reviews, and the systematic collection of student feedback to drive continuous improvement.
External examiners are appointed to provide an impartial view of LIAS's assessment standards. They confirm that awards are comparable to those of other international higher education institutions and ensure that the assessment process is fair, transparent, and rigorous.
