Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education

Aims & Scope

Higher education around the world has become a major topic of discussion, debate, and controversy, as a range of political, economic, social, and technological pressures result in a myriad of changes at all levels.

But the quality and quantity of critical dialogue and research and their relationship with practice remains limited.

This internationally peer-reviewed journal addresses this shortfall by focusing on the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning and higher education and covers: Higher education teaching, learning, curriculum, assessment, policy, management, leadership, and related areas; Digitization, internationalization, and democratization of higher education, and related areas such as lifelong and lifewide learning; Innovation, change, and reflections on current practices.

Issues around teaching and learning, especially those discussions which seek to inform practice are encouraged, ensuring the journal has validity and relevance in the fast-change higher education landscape.
