Event date: 25 May 2017
Location: The Studio, Birmingham
About this event
In light of wholesale changes to the quality framework, the new higher education act and many other government directives and initiatives, this event sets out the challenges facing student engagement in the current policy climate and how they can be overcome. Plenary sessions and workshops will cover a wide range of areas: from sharing good practice to the provision of information; guidance to enable participants to be better informed about the landscape; and how best to overcome the challenges for maintaining the momentum of student engagement in higher education. Workshops will be presented by representatives from QAA, The Student Engagement Partnership (TSEP), NUS; Liverpool John Moores University, the University of Reading and Sheffield Hallam University; and Derby, Hull and Kent Students’ Unions.

This event will be relevant to colleagues from all UK HE providers and roles such as:
- student engagement practitioners – SU staff, student voice managers, educational developers and support staff
- academics with a remit for student engagement and developing learning and teaching enhancements
- policy organisations with a remit for student engagement.
