Scotland's Tertiary Enhancement Programme (STEP)



STEP is the new collaborative programme that will support Scotland’s tertiary sector to innovate in quality enhancement. It is designed to enable Scotland’s colleges and universities to work together to improve and enhance learning, teaching, the student experience and staff development across tertiary provision. 

 

The programme is sector-owned and jointly managed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) and College Development Network (CDN). It is one of the delivery mechanisms of Scotland’s Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework (TQEF).
