Rolling out the Higher Education Achievement Report

UUK supports the work of the Burgess Implementation Group, which will be seeking to implement the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) across the sector. The HEAR gives a fuller record of a student's achievement while in higher education.

The BISG has now published a starter pack for institutions who are interested in developing the HEAR for their graduates. For more information please see here.

Provision of information about higher education: Outcomes of consultation and next steps

Under new arrangements published jointly today (June 16) by HEFCE, Universities UK and GuildHE, universities and colleges in England will be required to publish a KIS for each undergraduate course they offer. The KIS is an online summary of information about: student satisfaction; learning and assessment; financial costs and support; employment outcomes; and professional body recognition. For more information and a link to the final report and recommendations, please see here.
