This may be work undertaken by a single provider or collaborative activity between partners, for example.

QAA Cymru was commissioned by HEFCW (replaced on 1 August 2024 by Medr) to conduct a study to capture how enhancement of the student learning experience is perceived by students at Welsh providers.
