Quality Assurance Academy presents the How to webinars - Regional focus: Asia-Pacific

Given a great deal of activity around quality in higher education and within business schools in particular, the series of eight QAA HOW TO webinars was just completed, as an offshoot of the Quality Assurance Academy – an EFMD GN Professional Development programme for quality and accreditation professionals organised in partnership with RimaOne.
Recognising the diversity of business schools around the world and knowing that steps to be undertaken by any institution to assure its quality processes differ, to a certain extent, according to the geographical, political and socio-cultural context within which it finds itself, we would like to additionally provide a

more regional perspective on the entire series of topics related to quality assurance.


Thus, two regionally-focused webinars were added to the QAA HOW TO series: one for the Americas and the other for the Asia-Pacific. Our aim is to bring together the QA professionals with a common interest in quality assurance, willing to share information, lessons learned and best practices with the community seeking continuous improvement.

Register for free to network and exchange experiences with peers from different countries in your region.
Join the 
QAA LinkedIn group to help us build further the much-needed community.

The webinar will be moderated by Benjamin Stévenin, ACADEM.

Best practice online workshop

Student well-being: Learning from an intervention case study

Student well-being as part of the student experience has been one of the foremost issues in HE planning in recent years, with an increased focus on what is distinctive about student mental health and what responsibilities institutions have to support students. However, most studies have focused on the undergraduate experience. Concurrently, there has been an increase in the number of studies considering postgraduate students mental well-being. Yet, there is a clear distinction between these two groups and the increasing numbers of postgraduate taught (PGT) students.

This interactive online workshop will focus on what is distinctive about the PGT student experience and well-being support with the mapping of the needs of PGT students, how dedicated student services can support these, and also how these services fit within the broader institution. It will address the challenges presented by engaging students who are generally with an institution for only one year, and how this is exacerbated when engaging international students with different understandings of mental well-being.

Jordan Dawson, Student Experience Manager, will present the benefits and evaluation of a dedicated PGT support service with reference to a school-specific advising service established at the Adam Smith Business School, Glasgow University, in 2019/20. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how to improve the service offering at their own institution.

Target Group:
This interactive online workshop is designed for academics and professional service staff who interact with students – and particularly post-graduate students – seeking advise on well-being. It will also be of interest to those in charge of organisational staff well-being.
