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. The study comprised a series of 12 focus groups involving 40 students based at three further education colleges, seven higher education institutions and two alternative providers. The key findings and recommendations from the study can be seen in the report below. 

QAA Cymru was delighted to host a lively webinar on 21 May 2024 to share experiences of collaborative enhancement working across the UK. The webinar formed a part of a Higher Education Funding Council of Wales (HEFCW) funded QAA project, exploring collaborative enhancement; the benefits and challenges of collaborative working, including consideration of any issues working across UK borders; and the relationships between college and university partners in tertiary projects. You can find a summary of the key discussion points below.
