University and Students’ Association announce new partnership agreement

The University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh University Students' Association are announcing the signing of their first ever Self Evaluation and Action Plan (SEAP).

This comprehensive plan demonstrates a joint commitment to enhancing the quality of learning and teaching, in recognition of their foundational role in the overall student experience.

The SEAP includes a Statement of Assurance - a pledge to ensure change signed by University Principal Professor Sir Peter Mathieson - and a Statement of Partnership signed by Students' Association Vice-President Education, Dylan Walch.

The SEAP is required under the new Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework introduced by the Scottish Funding Council and reflects a collective ambition to create meaningful change for students. 

The plan highlights ambitious actions to address key areas of the student experience including assessment and feedback, the student support model, and amplifying the student voice. The plan will be reviewed annually. 

Our students are at the heart of everything we do. Working in partnership with them to deliver improvements to student satisfaction and wellbeing across our University is essential and a key driver of the Teaching and Learning commitments of our Strategy 2030.

We are proud of the strength of this collaborative work which ensures the voices of students continue to shape their university experience.

Dylan Walch, Vice-President Education and Professor Sir Peter Mathieson
