Overview
This new conference brings together our annual Enhancing the student experience and Student experience: mental health and wellbeing conferences into one flagship event.
Join colleagues from across higher education to explore how universities can create inclusive learning environments, support student wellbeing and deliver positive outcomes across the student journey.
As policy, student expectations and institutional priorities continue to evolve, this conference will provide space to reflect on the changing role of universities in supporting student success, belonging and wellbeing through keynote speakers, interactive discussions and sector-leading insights.
Why should you attend?
This year’s conference will provide:
- Forward-looking discussions on the future of the student experience across UK higher education.
- Insights into emerging government policy, regulation and sector priorities.
- Perspectives from leading voices across higher education, healthcare, student services and beyond.
- Opportunities to explore innovative approaches to student wellbeing, inclusion and success.
- Interactive discussions focused on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future student experience.
Our conference focuses on how universities can positively influence the student journey. By attending, you and your teams will discover innovative approaches, practical solutions and opportunities to learn from colleagues across the sector.
You will also be able to access the recordings of the plenary sessions after the event.
Here’s what past attendees had to say:
“An excellent one day conference, with a variety of perspectives from a variety of stakeholders - all with a stake in ensuring UK universities deliver an outstanding student experience! Some really excellent talks, none of which were too long, with plenty of opportunity for reflections and questions afterwards. Thank you Universities UK for delivering an excellent and stimulating event!”
“I truly enjoyed this event. Each speaker brought their unique views and experience into the table. It was the best event I participated in the last year. Thank you!”
“This was another excellent UUK conference. Every presenter had something important to share and I benefited from the sharing of good practice, the reminders about existing resources and the news about new resources coming online. The range of topics was rich and relevant, and I am going back to the office with several actions that I think will make a difference to students.”
