With the Browne Review and White Paper reconfiguring undergraduate provision, the government has now reconvened a review led by Sir Adrian Smith (Director-General, BIS) into Postgraduate provision.

This national conference brought together national policy makers and key stakeholders to share the latest insights on the postgraduate review, share best practice on the successful recruitment of taught postgraduate students, examine the international context in the postgraduate market and gain insight into how to improve the employability opportunities for postgraduate students.

The event:

• Provided a focus on new methods for postgraduate taught retention, and initiatives to support the conversion of undergraduate students into postgraduate study;
• Helped develop the relationship between employers and postgraduate students, with a focus on how to build relationships on design of content for courses
• Offered insight into how to offer more flexible opportunities to postgraduate students and make the offer to prospective students more appealing as a consequence.
