The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Unit (LATEU) was established in August 2006 to promote the Quality agenda across the University. As the University has adopted the definition of Quality as being that of transformation (change), LATEU is a key element in supporting change and the various change agents employed at all levels in the University.
Students in lecture
LATEU aims to constantly improve the learning experience of our students.
There are two key aspects to our work: Quality Assurance (working with and evaluating results) and Quality Enhancement (supporting change).
Quality Assurance is a core component of our work, ensuring alignment with national and professional standards and benchmarks.
Quality Enhancement shifts the focus away from simply meeting minimum standards within limited areas. The QAA definition of Quality Enhancement, ‘taking deliberate steps to bring about continuous improvement in the effectiveness of the learning experience of students’, has the same basis as our definition of Quality.
