Higher Education Quarterly (HEQU) is an international educational research journal publishing articles on policy, organization, leadership, governance, management and the professions in higher education. It aims to develop our understanding of higher education and its current challenges from a diversity of approaches and in an international context. 

We welcome all research methodologies (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods) and all forms of scholarly contributions (empirical, conceptual, and methodological)  which contribute to contemporary debates and have potential to impact policy and practice.

 

Online publication from 2024

Higher Education Quarterly will be published in online-only format effective with the 2024 volume. This is a proactive move towards reducing the environmental impact caused by the production and distribution of printed journal copies and will allow the journal to invest in further innovation, digital development, and sustainability measures. All color images will now be reproduced digitally and published free of charge. Printed copies may be obtained through a print-on-demand service.
