Our strands of expertise

Through the legacy of our work in HE and ongoing conversations with our members, we have identified strands of expertise that address key areas of development and enhancement for your institution in the coming year: race and gender equality, strategic leadership, developing leadership, teaching and learning for student success, effective governance and fostering inclusion.

We have designed our portfolio around these strands, responding to the needs of institutions in equipping their staff with learning, tools, techniques and new insights at every stage of their career.

Race Equality

As the momentum for change intensifies, our portfolio seeks to support the improvement of the representation, progression and success of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and students within higher education.
