NStEP is a joint initiative of the Union of Students of Ireland (USI), the Higher Education Authority (HEA), and Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). NStEP develops and supports student engagement in decision-making across higher education. Student engagement is underpinned by the idea of “students as partners”.
