Annual Learning and Teaching Conference, Friday 14 July 2017

Each year the Annual Learning and Teaching Conference provides an excellent opportunity for colleagues to come together to celebrate achievements and developments in learning and teaching from across the university and partner colleges, and to spend a day focusing on how we facilitate learning and exchanging ideas. As always the conference programme is full of the extensive range of innovative teaching practices that have recently helped the university reach the Silver rating in the TEF, book your place now to ensure you are part of the celebration of excellence.  The Learning and Teaching conference is offered FREE of charge as it forms a major part of the CPD provision for academic staff.
