Quality Enhancement and Standards Review (QESR) was the enhancement-led, evidence-based method of peer review carried out by QAA Scotland at Scottish higher education institutions in 2022-24.

 

Institutional Liaison Meetings (ILMs) were a complementary component of QESR and provided an important opportunity for information sharing between QAA Scotland and a higher education institution.
