Abstract
This article sets the QAA’s approach to benchmarking academic standards within the wider quality assurance context and considers the ways in which subject benchmarking can be interpreted and used for development and enhancement. The key challenge is for strategic collaboration between all the national agencies and HE institutions that have a legitimate stake in the latter in order to maximise the opportunity for achieving it.
