Students played a vital part in the Enhancement Themes and were represented at all levels. They helped to shape each Theme by contributing to institutional work, delivering fully student-led sector-wide projects, and actively directing the strategic focus of the work through the roles they fulfilled on the Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee and the Theme Leaders Group.

 

This helped to ensure that Themes focused on important areas that have a genuine impact - such as the Digital Student Communities project, which looked at how student communities had responded to the online-only student learning experience caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

About our work

We worked in partnership with sparqs (Student Partnerships in Quality Scotland) to encourage and promote student engagement in sector-level Enhancement Theme activity. sparqs provided support to the Student-led Steering Group, which developed, ran and delivered an annual student-led project within each Theme.

 

Student representatives were active members of all sector-level Enhancement Theme committees. A Student Theme Lead and Deputy Student Theme Lead shaped the Resilient Learning Communities Theme through the Theme Leadership Team. Each university was represented by a student and a staff member in the Theme Leadership Group, which operationalised the Enhancement Themes at the sector and institutional level.
