Measuring student engagement in knowledge exchange

3 min read

Research participation

Students often take knowledge and skills gained in the classroom to external organisations in exchange for practical experience. This is known as Student Engagement in Knowledge Exchange (SEKE). This study aims to understand these dynamics and enhance outcomes for all involved in these knowledge exchange programmes.

This research work is funded jointly by OfS and UKRI, and focuses on Student Engagement in Knowledge Exchange. The overall aim of this research is to determine the success factors that facilitate effective SEKE, and to inform the creation of a tool kit that will support development of good practices in SEKE projects.

Participants will either:

  1. Participate in a one hour virtual (Zoom or Google Meet) interview, or
