The ethos of a partnership approach to student engagement in the quality assurance of higher education provision is well embedded throughout the sector. However, specific groups of students have different requirements and needs in relation to student engagement. With this in mind, we have put together three separate Quality Enhancement Network (QEN) events offering different perspectives on student engagement:

• 8 March 2016 - Student Engagement in Postgraduate Taught Provision, University of Bolton
• 15 March 2016 - Student Engagement in Collaborative Provision, University of the West of England
• 23 March 2016 - Student Engagement in Postgraduate Research Provision, University of Greenwich
