In recognition of the current debates in the higher education sector, this year's learning and teaching conference hopes to provide creative solutions to some of the fundamental challenges currently facing universities. These include student recruitment and retention, assessment, skills, the virtual learning environment and the new QAA Code of Practice and Academic Review. These themes will be addressed in workshops and presentations by nationally recognised practitioners in the field. All presentations last 30mins With input from Project Plus 2 and the Sony Media Centre these presentations will look at the possibilities of this new system, and the benefits to students and staff. The Opportunities Centre is open 5 days a week.
Advisors are also available for more in-depth careers guidance appointments.
