Professional development is the focus of conference

Professional development is the main focus of the higher education in further education conference due to take place at the University.

The annual conference offers an invaluable opportunity for those working in education to meet staff from across the Higher Education Business Partnership (HEBP) and disseminate key information and to address matters at the forefront of higher education in further education. Vice-Chancellor Professor Graham Henderson CBE will open the conference and will set the scene for the future of HEBP on Friday 1 July 2011.

The main conference theme is the sharing of good practice in learning and teaching. There are also workshops specifically aimed at engaging staff working in areas which support the HE learning experience such as student services, student registration and finance.

Lynn Parker, Director of Educational Partnerships, said: ‘This is our annual opportunity to bring together college partners, share good practice and innovation and celebrate our collaboration. We particularly appreciate the support for this event from colleagues in the colleges and the University.’
