ADVANCE HE

Advance HE is a charitable organisation dedicated to transforming higher education across the UK and Ireland. By partnering with universities, colleges and other learning providers, it helps institutions raise the quality of teaching, strengthen governance and boost student outcomes.

The charity offers a suite of leadership-focused programmes, ranging from executive and senior-level development to specialised governance support for boards seeking strategic transformation. It also provides presenter opportunities that enable academics to share best practice, and runs the prestigious NTFS and CATE awards that recognise teaching excellence for 2025. Through research-informed resources such as the International Students' Pedagogies Toolkit, Advance HE supports the whole student experience, from voice and engagement to brand strategy and value creation.

With a UK headquarters in York and an Irish presence in Cork, Advance HE serves the higher-education community with a collaborative, forward-looking approach, helping institutions and individuals alike to achieve lasting, positive change.
