Welcome to the Programme Leaders Network

 

This is a dedicated networking community of practice for those leading or overseeing undergraduate, postgraduate, or foundation programmes across UK higher education. 

 

Open to programme leaders, course directors, associate deans, and others in similar academic and quality roles, this networking community provides a collaborative space to share innovation and effective practice in programme design, delivery, and evaluation. 

 

Meeting at least 3 times a year, the community offers online events and discussion forums where we share practice, explore innovative approaches, exchange insights, and stay informed of policy.  We look forward to seeing you at future events.
