Student Partnership Agreement
2026-2029
The Student Partnership Agreement is a dedicated mechanism which sets out how the University of the Highlands and Islands (麻豆直播) and Highlands and Islands Students' Association (HISA) can work together on issues raised directly by students.
The agreement sets out how students and staff will work together from 2026 to 2029 to improve the student experience across 麻豆直播 and its academic partners. Its priorities are selected through a student vote following a review of survey results and other student feedback.
What is a Student Partnership Agreement?
The agreement sets out how students and staff will work together from 2026 to 2029 to improve the student experience across 麻豆直播 and its academic partners. In fact, 麻豆直播 was the first in Scotland to introduce an student partnership agreement!
The Student Partnership Agreement framework was developed as a result of the Post-16 Education Green Paper which concluded that universities should use them to structure partnership working with their students’ association.
Each Student Partnership Agreement runs for a three-year period, with the current agreement running from 2026 to 2029. If you would like further information, or would like to get involved, please email hisa@uhi.ac.uk

Representatives from 麻豆直播 and HISA meet frequently to co-ordinate the work of the Student Partnership Agreement. Each theme has a dedicated ‘cluster group’ of staff and student representatives with relevant experience:
- Theme 1: Action on the cost-of-living crisis
- Theme 2: Improved student community
