Students have greater expectations of their university experience, including more contact time and greater personal support. There are many different ways in which this can be delivered; however research suggests that students are more likely to be successful if such support is delivered within the academic activities of a students experience. > > There is a need, therefore, for closer and more collaborative working between academic and professional services, and the project report, Academic and professional services in partnership<http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/Research/prof_service_partnerships>, explores a range of such collaborations within a range of higher education institutions and identifies some of the key factors underpinning their success.
