This report summarises the findings of 54 reviews of alternative providers (APs) conducted by QAA in the academic year 2016-17.

This research compares publicly available online feedback through Facebook, WhatUni and StudentCrowd with more mainstream measures such as the National Student Survey (NSS), the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF), and external reviews of the quality of education provision.

​This report considers the application of data-driven risk models in higher education by considering the ways in which they are used by regulatory bodies in other sectors.

​This report presents the main findings from a scoping study to understand the contemporary scale, shape and history of sub-bachelor higher education in the UK. It comments on patterns and trends in participation and provision at the sub-bachelor levels.

This report explores the cultures of quality assurance within higher education systems and institutions. It considers the factors that shape them and the effects that they have upon educational processes and outcomes. It focuses on developments within the contrasting national contexts of Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico and Portugal.

​This joint research project, in collaboration with the British Council, considers how the structures and frameworks of quality assurance organisations in nine countries (Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, India, Mexico, the UK and the USA) encourage cultures of quality in higher education systems.​
