ABSTRACT
Chapter 3 explores the potential value of peer support and learning which has been described as ‘gaining momentum as a global phenomenon’ (Keenan, 2014, p. 5). With the reported benefits for improving student satisfaction, retention and employability skills this expansion is attributed in the main to the increased focus on enhancing the student experience in higher education (Hilsdon, 2014; Keenan, 2014).
