Higher Education Enhancement Seminar 2015

​The first seminar from our quality enhancement programme Growing your vision for quality in higher education through collaboration was held in May 2015.

Higher education providers came together for a seminar to share and learn about quality enhancement practices. The theme was Sharing smart approaches to optimising quality. The seminar provided national and international delegates with a unique opportunity to share their experiences, leadership and perspectives on the theme. The programme is available to view here
