The University Alliance (UA) is a group of universities with a common mission acting as anchor institutions in their cities and regions working with employers to co-design and co-deliver highly relevant professional and technical education. Teaching and learning in this context is characterised by student-centric experiential learning team-work and real-world problem-solving supported by co- and extra-curricular activities designed to increase social capital and employability. This session will outline the activities of the Teaching Excellence Alliance (TEA) Programme established in February 2017 to enhance and profile teaching excellence in an Alliance context – particularly highlighting the themes “industry-engaged” and “success for all”.
