QAA Membership Resources

Wednesday 6 December 2023, 09:00-10:30 GMT

Join us for our next International Member Network on 6 December.

Our International Member Network is an opportunity for international members to engage with their peers from across the international membership, to discuss topics of interest and to hear updates from QAA.  The event is open to full and associate international members.

This session will have a focus on QAA’s International Quality Assurance Programme (IQAP), QAA’s training course on higher education quality assurance. This will include an overview and review of IQAP and discussion on leadership and management in higher education quality assurance. There will be an opportunity to hear from IQAP participants on their learning from IQAP and how they are using that in their professional roles, with the aim of sharing practice in quality assurance with international members. The event will be led by the facilitators of the IQAP event held in July 2023, with contributions from IQAP participants.

Please note the online registration closes the day before the event. Please email internationalmembership@qaa.ac.uk if you would like to register after the online registration has closed.
