Actual evidence

Professional Parallax’ – a tendency to see across the HE/professional divide, but in a distorted way Jeremy Cox

Professional Higher Education

A distinct form of Higher Education that offers a particularly intense integration

with the world of work in all its aspects (including teaching, learning, research and

governance) and at all levels of the overarching Qualifications Framework of the

European Higher Education Area
