12 May 2010 - Improving Retention and Success: retaining students to and through higher education

 

12 Mai 2010 – Gwella Cyfraddau Cadw a Llwyddiant: cadw myfyrwyr mewn addysg uwch

 

 

Improving retention and success: retaining students to and through higher education.  A one-day conference jointly hosted by the Higher Education Academy and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales. The conference will be held on 12 May 2010 at The Metropole, Llandrindod Wells.

 

The Welsh Assembly Higher Education strategy For Our Future, the 21^st Century Higher Education Strategy and Plan for Wales includes a commitment to a renewed approach to widening access to higher education including an expectation for HEFCW and stakeholders to deliver:

 

‘A renewed widening access strategy in 2010 to include stronger focus on helping those who access higher education to successfully complete their learning objectives.’

 

This conference will explore effective ways in which institutions can improve student retention and success throughout the student lifecycle.  It will include contributions from across the UK and examples of effective practice from the Welsh sector.

 

The conference will be of particular interest to staff working in the following areas of higher education: senior management and resource planning, admissions, equality and diversity, student services, marketing and recruitment, retention, research and widening access, though it will be of interest to all staff with responsibility for retaining successful students to and through higher education.

 

The conference is limited to 80 delegates and we anticipate that it will be over-subscribed.
