This framework for Student Knowledge Exchange emphasises experiential learning, critical pedagogy, and inclusive practices to ensure all students, particularly minoritised and international students, can thrive in a diverse and global workforce. Through collaboration with industry partners on real-world challenges, students are able to apply their academic knowledge in practical settings, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application. 

Furthermore, by engaging in knowledge exchange activities, students are empowered to make meaningful contributions to societal and economic development, equipping them for successful careers and enabling them to address broader societal goals.

The outputs from this Advance HE Collaborative Development Fund project include an overall report, a report on how they measured the impact of the scheme, a case study report, a stylised Roadmap and Framework, and a video detailing the industry consultancy project.

Advance HE members can access the outputs below.
