Throughout the year UVAC has released the concept and discussion papers, marking 25 years of advocating for higher education.

By publishing a series of thought-provoking papers, UVAC has taken the opportunity to reflect, in a scholarly way, on the higher and degree apprenticeships conceptual journey and wider skills policy; and to contribute to the increasing body of knowledge in the field of apprenticeships and professional education, delivered by higher education providers.

UVAC hopes you find all the papers in the series a highly useful, thought provoking and enjoyable read.
