ABSTRACT
Continuity and change is part of amplifying effectiveness, recognising that the spaces and places that individuals choose to develop their learning in are not necessarily the timetabled, bounded spaces of the conventional university. Partner colleges and international campuses also change the shape of the university, the interconnectedness between partners and other campuses bringing the opportunity for enhancements and learning from each other, but also responsibilities for quality and support. It is by the mechanisms that the continuity of excellence in higher education is preserved but also rendered more accessible. In the quest to retain the continuity of the best of a traditional higher education, while supporting the needs of a contemporary, more diverse, student body, and to accommodate the needs of employers and stakeholders for graduates ready to operate in a challenging, the shape of support has needed to evolve. Change in contemporary education is changing the shape of higher education institutions too.
