QCHE 2026: Building a Stronger HE Sector Together

QCHE 2026: Building a Stronger HE Sector Together

Mark your calendars: QCHE 2026 will return on 11 February at Glaziers Hall, London Bridge.

QCHE is fast becoming an important gathering in the international higher education calendar for leaders in admissions, compliance and international recruitment.

Last year’s event brought together a focused group of colleagues who shared ideas and compared experiences in an open, practical forum. The feedback we gathered afterwards highlighted what delegates found most valuable: hands-on sessions, access to real-time admissions fraud data, and direct time with our product team. We have taken that on board, and this year’s event builds on it with an even greater emphasis on participation, shared learning and collaboration across the sector.

That focus on open dialogue and shared insight reflects what Qualification Check stands for. With us, you do not just get a platform. You gain access to a network of peers, data that reveals real trends, and events like QCHE, where ideas turn into improvements that benefit everyone involved. Our community now includes around one third of UK universities, and many other institutions from around the world,  meaning the discussions at QCHE draw on a rich mix of insight and experience.

QCHE brings that community to life. Part user group, part sector summit, the programme is designed to be highly interactive. Delegates will take part in live product and engineering sessions that explore how our tools can better meet university needs, and benefit from interactive panel discussions where partners share best practice that others can adapt. We will also be joined by external experts who bring fresh perspectives on compliance, technology and sector-wide challenges. Throughout the day, we will capture feedback and ideas that directly shape how we evolve our products and services.

Our goal is to help our clients get the most out of working with us while supporting the wider higher education sector to become stronger, more transparent and more resilient. Collaboration, openness and shared understanding are what move the sector forward, and QCHE is where those values come to life.

The day will finish with the QCHE Awards, new for 2026, which recognise excellence in verification and compliance practice. The awards celebrate progress across our community, highlighting the creative, data-driven and collaborative approaches that are strengthening compliance and efficiency across UK higher education.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last year and shaped what QCHE has become. I look forward to welcoming an expanded group in February, learning from your experiences, and continuing to build a stronger HE sector together.
