Key Areas - FE / HE Partnerships

Further Education / Higher Education Partnerships

The Context

Academic Partnerships between HE institutions and FE institutions are of increasing importance, particularly in regard of widening participation and effective progression from HE to FE. Academic Partnerships enable Further Education Colleges to provide some Higher Education courses validated by the Partner HEI. The delivery of HE in FE institutions is especially significant to widening participation in rural areas or counties with no university.

What role does FACE Play?

FACE provides a network and a forum for discussion for practitioners and policy makers. Research, best practice and experience can be shared at FACE seminars and through workshops or papers at the FACE Annual Conference or electronically through the network.
