Collaborations
A major part of the Institute’s approach to ensuring that its courses are based on best practice in the field is to attract the best available expertise to lead and contribute to its activities. This ensures that the courses are relevant, through the regular regeneration that occurs with new teaching and research staff coming together with different perspectives.

International
The Institute has strong international links. In the UK it collaborates closely with the University of London Institute of Education and the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education. The Institute has agreed reciprocal arrangements with the UK Institute of Education's MBA program, so that credit gained at one institution in programs such as the Master of Tertiary Education Management can be accepted by the other, and support can be given to students from one institution undertaking project work in the country of the other. In continental Europe, the United States and Asia our partners include:
- New Zealand Vice Chancellors' Committee
- OECD’s Institutional Management in Higher Education program and its Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
- Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) at the University of Twente, the Netherlands
