The Academy aims to "advise on policies and practices that impact on the student experience, support curriculum and pedagogic development and facilitate development and increase the professional standing of all staff inhigher education." Our academy is an independent body established by Universities and the Standing Conference of Principals. The higher education includes teaching, research and social services activities of universities, and within the realm of teaching, it includes both the undergraduate level (sometimes referred to as tertiary education) and the graduate (or postgraduate) level (sometimes referred to as graduate school).A higher education in that country generally involves work towards a degree-level or foundation.
