Student engagement has been a core pillars of our Scottish Quality Enhancement Framework from its inception, ensuring a strong and meaningful student voice and contribution to our assurance and enhancements agendas, works and achievements. With a wide spread shift across the sector from engagement of students to partnership working, and the celebration of 20 years of enhancement, it feels fitting and timely to ask the question ‘How do we evaluate our ideas and practices of partnership, and their impacts enhancing the student experience?’.

This presentation utilises the presenters own institutional context as a case study, and initial findings from a small-scale research project, to explore how we currently evaluate student partnerships in their many forms, and where we may need to expand our evaluative practice and approach to examine the impacts of partnership for the future.
