Society for Research into Higher Education

The Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) is an independent United Kingdom-based international society which aims to improve the quality of higher education. It encourages debate and publications on the policies, organisation, and management of higher education establishments.

SRHE has four goals:

1. to enhance the role of higher education research
2. to encourage and support new researchers in the field of higher education
3. to provide opportunities for the publication of research and scholarship
4. to organise conferences and seminars to convene researchers and policy makers.

Membership of the society is open to all, and works on an individual basis. It is managed by a Governing Council. It is a limited company and a registered charity.

SRHE has specialist 'network' groups, which include:

• Academic Practice
• Access and widening participation
• The Digital University
• Employability, Enterprise and Work-based learning
• Higher education policy
• International Research and Researchers
• Post-compulsory and Higher Education
• Postgraduate issues
• The student experience

The SRHE publishes three journals:

• Higher Education Quarterly
• Research into Higher Education Abstracts
• Studies in Higher Education

and a book series with Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group.
