Local Government IntelligenceEnhancing the Student Experience
15 Nov 2011
5th Annual Conference. To be held at The King's Fund, 11-13 Cavendish Square, London W1.
Now in its fifth year and set in the spotlight of increased tuition fees and significant government efficiency savings, this conference brought together higher education leaders to examine how to manage and exceed students’ diverse expectations in these challenging times.
The new system of graduate contributions and subsidised loans will have a wide-ranging impact on how future students will experience higher education, including increased scrutiny from students and government on the student experience.
University leaders and experts set out the latest intelligence on diverse undergraduate expectations, showcased good practice, highlighted innovative new solutions and examined how all institutions can secure their reputation and market share by engaging students as active partners.
