Welcome to the Higher Education Academy Scotland

Scotland has a distinctive higher education system, and the concept of Academy Scotland has been developed to recognise and support this.

Our aims are to:

  • Support the professional development of individual staff
  • Support institutions
  • Support communities of practice through our Subject Centres
  • Contribute to national policy

Professional Development

We work closely with the Scottish educational development community on a range of projects and development activities to support academic staff and encourage partnerships involving educational developers, academic staff and discipline communities.
