HEA Corporate Strategic Plan 2027–2030: Consultation
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) is seeking your views on Strategic Themes and Priorities for the new HEA Corporate Strategic Plan 2027–2030, which will be published in early 2027. The Plan, which will build on the achievements of the Corporate Strategic Plan 2023–2026 (pdf), will set out the HEA’s ambitions for 2027–2030 in line with the provisions of the Higher Education Authority Act 2022. The existing Plan identifies four Strategic Themes that reflect the HEA mission to fund, develop, regulate, and to advise on sectoral growth arising from the Functions of the HEA. A fifth theme ‘HEA as an Organisation’ reflects the capacity of the HEA to deliver on its mission.
A Background Paper – Strategic Directions: Future Challenges and Considerations presenting future scenarios for the Sector over the coming decades has been prepared to facilitate your response to the areas raised in our consultation survey. The Background Paper and Survey are available below. The survey questions are also available to preview below.
The HEA looks forward to engaging with the Sector on the development of the new Plan and welcomes your views on its Strategic Themes and Priorities from 2027-2030.
The closing date for responses to the consultation is midday on 29 June.
