We are responsible for sustaining the provision of higher and further education in Scotland.

We use public money to fund colleges, universities and other tertiary education establishments.
This funding covers a wide range of activities including: teaching and learning; skills and apprenticeships, student support and participation; research, innovation and knowledge exchange; data collection and dissemination; national quality assurance and enhancement processes; capital and digital infrastructure for the sector; and strategic change, responsive provision and research priorities.
