The Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee

The Enhancement Themes are planned and directed by the sector through the Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee (SHEEC). SHEEC members in the main have institutional responsibility for teaching and learning, and every higher education institution has a member on the committee.

The role of SHEEC:

• Support the embedding of effective enhancement-led approaches to managing quality in higher education institutions (HEIs).
• Support the sharing of good practice.
• Enable the continuing review of the area to be pursued through the topic-based Themes in feeding into HEIs' enhancement work.
• Support the evaluation of the effectiveness of the topic-based Themes in feeding into HEIs' enhancement work.
