About the conference

GSA's Education Strategy 2023 to 2027 put at its heart ensuring that all the students are supported to succeed, achieve their potential, and make a positive contribution. The Scottish Higher and Further Education sector has set a priority theme to explore how providers of education can 'support diverse learner journeys' thinking about student transitions, community and belonging, skills and capability, and personalised support. In responding to these priorities, the theme of our 2025 Learning and Teaching Conference is set on 'Diverse Learner Journeys: Supporting Students to Succeed'.

This theme will allow insightful discussions on how to recognise, respond to, and proactively support the diversity of students at each stage of their learner journey, from pre-application to graduation, and becoming active members of our creative alumni community.

We invited abstract submissions in response to the following four subthemes:

Supporting student transitions in, through and out
Strengthening student engagement, community and belonging
Supporting students creative skills and capabilities for learning and practice
Empowering staff to support student success in partnership with students
