AHEP Blog
The AHEP blog is a space to voice opinion, inform, celebrate and share perspectives of working in higher education administration and management today. Each blog will provide thoughts and ideas from three core outlooks:
Policy, me and my role: what is your opinion or experience of the impact of policy on your role or on HE administration and management more widely? What can others learn from you?
Professional development: knowledge, ideas and tools for furthering a career in higher education and enriching your experience of being a HE professional.
My AHEP: covering everything that AHEP has to offer, brought to you from members who have experienced it first-hand.
If you’d like to write a blog for us, please email us at hello@ahep.ac.uk to express your interest.
