A unique ‘Quality Enhancement framework has been designed to support higher education institutions in Scotland in managing the quality of the student learning experience and to provide public confidence in the quality and standards of higher education (www.enhancementThemes.ac.uk/background/default.asp).’

The approach consists of five inter-related aspects:

• Institution-led review
• Public information set
• Effective involvement of students in quality management
• Enhancement-led institutional review (ELIR)
• Enhancement Themes

(For further information on the different strands of work see the Enhancement Themes Website).

The enhancement themes are designed to enhance the student learning experience through concentrating on specific areas for development. Using this focus academic and support staff and students are encouraged to collectively identify and share current good practice and to generate ideas and models for innovation in learning and teaching.

The Current Themes are:

• Graduates for the 21st Century: Integrating the Enhancement Themes
• Quality Cultures and Systems & Structures for Enhancement

and completed themes are:

• Research-Teaching Linkages;
• The First Year;
• Integrative Assessment;
• Flexible Delivery;
• Employability;
• Responding to Student Needs and Assessment
