The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education

About QAA

Founded in 1997, we are a world-leading quality agency with unmatched experience of providing impartial regulatory and collaborative quality assurance and enhancement. We support universities and colleges in working with students and learners, governments, funders and regulatory bodies to evidence and enhance the excellent quality and high standards of the education they provide.  

 

We work towards a greater public understanding - domestically and internationally - of how excellent quality is demonstrated in UK higher education, and how autonomous providers both assure its delivery and address weaknesses. Our work safeguards the value of qualifications for students and protects and promotes the reputation of higher education in the UK and internationally. 


With our Head Office in Gloucester, we allow employees to work remotely provided it is within the UK.
