Shaping academic excellence across the NCUK Global Network

At NCUK, we believe that outstanding learning experiences begin with a clear, purposeful strategy. Our Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy 2025–2029 sets out our academic vision for the next five years – one that reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and student success.

This strategy is designed to guide our global network of delivery partners, ensuring that every student benefits from inclusive, future-focused teaching and robust assessment practices that prepare them for university and beyond.

Our commitment

Learning, teaching and assessment are at the core of everything we do. Through this strategy, NCUK will:

  • Equip students with the skills, knowledge and confidence to succeed at university and in their careers.
  • Support delivery partners with expert guidance, professional development, and high-quality resources.
  • Ensure academic excellence through rigorous standards and continuous enhancement.
  • Foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainability across our global community.

Why it matters

This strategy is more than a framework – it’s a shared commitment to delivering impactful education. It reflects our values, responds to global trends, and ensures that NCUK programmes remain relevant, inclusive, and academically rigorous.
