I’m Sam Whittaker

Big fan of London, pubs, mushrooms, and Wikipedia

A little bit of what I do

My career in research started in 2017, and I soon gravitated towards learning and skills and higher education research. As an Associate Director within our Higher Education sector, with both qual and quant expertise, I work with policy makers and universities to help them deliver the best results for students and staff within the sector.

What I’ve achieved

I’ve led multiple large-scale evaluations including of the Teaching Excellence Framework for the Office for Students, as well as numerous bespoke research projects for individual providers. I’ve also contributed to IFF’s evaluation of the Masters Loan for the DfE.
