Across the globe enhancements to the student learning experience have been both disrupted and accelerated by the pandemic. This pivot to hybrid and flexible learning, along with the growth in artificial intelligence and the information revolution continue to create unprecedented drivers for change. Drawing on our connections around the world we support individuals, institutions and country systems to provide flexible, high quality, digitally-enabled student experiences that prepare learners for success as constructive contributors to the future world.

We are delighted with the online teaching programme that Advance HE developed for us. When our face-to-face programme was delayed because of Covid-19, we were really pleased that Advance HE would work with us to support participants with their immediate challenge of teaching online.”Lyudmila Tatsenko, Head of Education, British Council Ukraine Teaching Excellence Programme
Teaching and learning consultancy and enhancement services brochure
We understand that no two institutions are the same and that is why we use a partnership approach to our consultancy and enhancement service to understand your challenges and develop interventions tailored to your context and goals. Our new brochure sets out our support for institutions for 2021-22.
Our areas of work
Reviewing, developing and reforming teaching and learning strategies and policy
Our support encourages institutions to examine and reframe their organisational cultures to enable performance through staff expertise, supporting student success and aligning to shared strategies and goals. We support you to foster an environment enabling productive, committed teams and individuals to thrive.
Teacher training and sustainable development programmes
Advance HE offers a range of in-house delivery options aimed at equipping staff with the skills and confidence to make a positive impact on the student experience. Our programmes can be contextually adapted, integrate ‘train the trainer’ methodologies and be delivered online or via a blended model.
Accrediting professional development programmes and providing professional recognition
Advance HE supports institutions globally to have their in-house teaching staff development programmes accredited aligned to the Professional Standards Framework for Teaching and Supporting Learning in HE requirements and allow the automatic award of Fellowship to successful participants. We provide support to institutions to guide them through the accreditation process. We also provide online standardisation exercises, to support those assessing and mentoring Fellows as well as conducting external moderation.
Designing and enhancing inclusive curricula for student success
It is paramount that institutions develop the structures, procedures and approaches to place the student at the centre of all activity. Using our research-informed Essential Frameworks for Student Success and our vast experience in teaching and learning, we support governments and institutions at whole organisation, faculty and programme level to review, develop and embed curricula, student success, employability, assessment and retention.
Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) equips learners across all disciplines with the knowledge, skills, attributes and values required to pursue sustainable visions of the future. Using active pedagogies learners are supported in addressing complex or ‘wicked problems’ and identifying how they can contribute to solutions that address environmental integrity, social justice and economic prosperity.
Advance HE Collaborative Projects
Collaborative projects are cost effective and delivered as a focused period of activity – usually six months. They are grounded in sharing excellent practice, developing innovative approaches and assessing the impact of change. Institutions involved in the collaborative projects benefit from focused support on key issues, a safe space to share challenges and build networks of support, and implementing meaningful change. Our recent collaborative project running is the Assessment and Feedback in Business.
Insight through student surveys
Advance HE facilitate four sector wide surveys, the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey, Postgraduate Research Experience Survey, the UK Engagement Survey and the Student Academic Experience Survey.
If you are an Advance HE member your institution can benefit from the discounted data and insights from these to:
- understand and enhance the student academic experience and student engagement at course, faculty and institution-wide levels
- benchmark performance year-on-year within your institution and ranking in comparison to your peers
- pinpoint where interventions are most needed for student success in your priority areas, including assessment and feedback, employability and student retention.
Additional insight and benchmarking reports can be purchased.
