Internationalisation. The HEA is committed to promoting an equitable and global learning experience for all students on UK higher education programmes, whether they are studying in the UK or abroad. We do this by working closely with higher education institutions, key partner organisations and our practice networks to develop international teaching and the research and evidence that underpin it. We believe that policy and pedagogic practice that works for international students also works for the benefit of all students. We promote a curriculum which is informed by a broader global view, that is taught in a range of ways and enables students to study abroad to learn more about themselves, their disciplines and their future professions.

Making It Count - Reflecting on the National Student Survey in the process of enhancement.

This report, based on the experiences of the HEA's NSS Institutional Working Group, provides suggestions and reflections on the role that the NSS can play in the enhancement of learning and teaching. Its potential as a tool for enhancement is an often overlooked aspect of the NSS, yet there are many examples where the survey has been used in innovative ways to improve learning and teaching. This report aims to encourage and enable institutions to reflect on their own use of the NSS, and to prompt reflection on its potential role in the enhancement process. What does this report do?
