Overview
Universities are nothing without their students. Our annual student experience conference addresses the most pertinent issues and challenges our students face. With the cost-of-living at the forefront of everyone’s minds, how can we support our students to get decent and affordable housing? How can we support their mental health and anxiety induced by rising costs?
We will also delve into topics such as transitioning out of university; the climate crisis; inclusive learning environments; student welfare and much more.
We’re delighted to announce that the conference will be chaired by Professor Karen Cox, Vice-Chancellor, University of Kent.
Join us in-person on 25 May in London to meet colleagues and discuss all things student experience. If you are unable to join in person, you can register for access to a livestream of the plenary sessions (breakout sessions will not be streamed).
Why should you attend?
Alongside informative, timely content from the most pertinent speakers on the topic, we will also be providing a wide range of opportunities to network, discuss, and make connections with colleagues within the sector.
Testimonials from last year's conference:
