Need advice about where to study?We have published student quides to help you understand about our review methods and about quality assurance in UK higher education. Our review reports give details of the judgements we have made on a university or college. Take a look at An introduction to QAA to find out more about who we are and what we do. You may also find our answers to frequently asked questions useful, which aim to point you in the right direction for help. It includes advice on choosing your course and university, making complaints about your university and the different levels of higher education qualifications. |
Our student engagement work and student involvement in audit and reviewWe are working to build and extend our work with students to support and promote activities that engage students in the processes and management of quality assurance and enhancement.  Short films about the importance of student engagement in quality assurance, and take ideas back to your institution.
