title: University validation of Project 2000 courses.
abstract: The need for academic validation of Project 2000 courses has implications for schools/colleges who intend to offer such courses. These include not only academic aspects of the course curriculum, but also the development of students and the need for joint validation. In this paper, these aspects are discussed from the particular perspective of university accreditation, but it is probable that most of the issues raised will be relevant irrespective of the validating body. The issues will have been the concern of nurse educators in the past, and the intention here is to place these issues in the context of academic validation. The paper is based on the writers' experience of taking part in the validation of such a course, as a university lecturer who has also worked in a school of nursing.
