Launchpad

Launchpad is IHE’s support programme for new providers in their start-up phase and for existing providers who are new to the regulated higher education sector and its processes.

Learn on demand

Build your knowledge of the higher education landscape by accessing our ever-expanding Launchpad training suite. Sessions include expert-led support and insights from IHE staff and sector experts and focus on critical areas linked to your strategic plans. Topics include the Office for Students (OfS) registration and categories, governance, regulation, Degree Awarding Powers (DAPs), academic partnerships, student support, visas and immigration, as well as setting up in the UK for overseas providers. To help you build capacity across your whole organisation, individual login details will be available to all your staff.
