QAA International Associate Membership Calendar of Events and Publications 2022-23
Publication date: 02 Jun 2023
International Associate Membership is for higher education institutions recognised by their local quality agency/regulator - for example, through a letter of approval or a quality assurance report. It is suitable for those institutions who have not yet achieved International Quality Review (IQR) accreditation from QAA.
If your institution subsequently receives IQR accreditation status, you have the option to apply for Full International Membership in the current membership year, with the additional fee charged at a pro-rata rate for the remainder of that year.
Being part of QAA’s International Membership allows us to share and learn best practice with a likeminded community of similar institutions around the world. As members, we have found QAA’s guidance and good practice papers particularly useful to develop and enhance our own practices. We plan to continue to use QAA’s resources to inform our policies, practices and continue to enhance and build upon the quality of learning, teaching and assessment.
As a International Associate Member you will have access to a range of resources, staff development and events which cover a broad area of activity centred on the themes chosen for the Membership year. These include:
This calendar provides an indicative schedule of the key events and resources that are part of the International Associate Membership Programme for 2022-23.
The calendar for the 2023-24 membership year will be published in June.

As an International Associate Member, all your staff and students have access to the QAA Membership Resources Site. Here you will find a wealth of resources including briefings, research outcomes, country reports and materials relating to our events.
QAA International Associate Members can also submit a proposal to lead a QAA Collaborative Enhancement Project, which offers funding for groups of member institutions to work together to explore areas of shared interest and engage students. The next round of Collaborative Enhancement Project funding will open later in the year.
