QAA Student Reviewers

Location: Flexible working
Closing date: 20/01/2025

Are you passionate about tertiary education?

Are you a current or recent UK based student or sabbatical officer in a college or university with experience in representing students' interests who can support and challenge constructively the ambitions of individual institutions?

If so, you might be the person we are looking for!

This is an exciting time to join an organisation with an essential role in the UK’s tertiary education sector. We are seeking existing or recent students to join our student reviewer pool.

We are a world-leading quality agency with unmatched experience of providing impartial regulatory and collaborative quality assurance and enhancement. We support universities and colleges, and work with students and learners, governments, funders and regulatory bodies, to evidence and enhance the excellent quality and high standards of the education they provide.

We work towards a greater public understanding - domestically and internationally - of how excellent quality is demonstrated in UK higher education, and how autonomous providers both assure its delivery and address weaknesses. Our work safeguards the value of qualifications for students and learners and protects and promotes the reputation of tertiary education.

About the role

As a Student Reviewer you will apply your experience as a member of a review team supported by a QAA Officer. This includes using evidence and documentation from universities and colleges and visiting these institutions to make judgements on their learning and support provisions.

The time commitment depends on the activities you choose to accept and is likely to involve desk-based activity over a series of weeks or months, culminating in one or more visits, depending on the review method, to the institution being reviewed.

Further details about the main duties and responsibilities, and the knowledge and skills required, are available in the Role Profile. If successfully appointed to this role, you would be joining QAA’s student reviewer pool and will be eligible to take part in QAA review activity across the UK and internationally.

Fees for each quality assurance activity are confirmed at the point you are invited to participate.

Completion of mandatory, generic and method training will be required prior to undertaking any quality assurance activity. If you want more information about the role, we’d love to hear from you and are happy to have a chat. Please get in touch by email to CRT@qaa.ac.uk and we will arrange for a team member to reply by email or by calling you, please give your preference.
