Advising students?

Our review reports give details of the judgements have made on a university or college.

These can help a student when making a decision about where to study. We also have specific guides to help students understand aspects of quality assurance in higher education.

Getting involved with QAA and quality assurance

Our Higher Education in Further Education Colleges liaison group and policy advisory forum offer an opportunity to discuss matters important to you.

The Quality Strategy Network provides a forum for discussion between senior quality managers about key issues in quality management and enhancement. It is independent of all other sector bodies but regularly works with QAA to develop good practice. We also operate a liaison scheme in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
