About Us

We do this by working with individual academics to give them access to professional recognition, advice and support, as well as networking and development opportunities to enhance their teaching. Our network of 24 discipline-based subject centres provides a range of services to subject departments including resources, events and workshops and we also liaise directly with worldwide institutions, providing national leadership in developing and disseminating evidence-informed practice about enhancing the student learning experience. We work across the four nations of the UK, recognising the distinctive policy contexts and priorities in England and each of the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but also providing opportunities to share expertise among them. We are an independent organisation funded by grants from the four UK higher education funding bodies, subscriptions from higher education institutions, and grant and contract income for specific initiatives.
