Inspiring teaching, transforming learning

The Higher Education Academy (HEA) is the national body for learning

and teaching in higher education. We work with universities and other

higher education providers to bring about change in learning and

teaching. We do this to improve the experience that students have

while they are studying, and to support and develop those who teach

them. Our activities focus on rewarding and recognising excellence in

teaching, bringing together people and resources to research and share

best practice, and by helping to influence, shape and implement policy -

locally, nationally, and internationally.
