Collaborative Enhancement Projects offer a fantastic opportunity for higher education providers to work together to explore areas of shared interest and engage students. Each project will also lead to the development of outputs that not only benefit the partners directly involved but also support the wider QAA membership and higher education sector.

 

This year the full suite of funded projects includes one led by a QAA International Member.  We’re pleased to include our international members in the enhancement project approach, providing a focused way for UK and international providers to network around topics of mutual interest.

 

The response to our call for expressions of interest was very positive, building on previous years, with 65 individual project proposals received.

 

These new projects, each led by a QAA member, involve 70 partners from across the sector, including UK higher education institutions, colleges, independent providers, international universities, and Students’ Unions.

 

We will be sharing more information on these projects, including the outputs they will produce, in the new year. For now, we are pleased to announce the full list of participating institutions and their chosen areas of work.
