Graduates for the 21st Century (QAA)

This project was concerned with supporting HEIs and the sector in refreshing, refocusing and integrating each of the completed Enhancement Themes. For each of the Themes, facilitators took forward a number of specific activities which will include the following three broad areas of work: Working with institutions to support institutional and inter-institutional work; Events and activities to support the sector; Writing to build a resource for use by the sector. Work within this project on Research-Teaching Linkages is being undertaken by Vicky Gunn and Velda McCune.
