*** APOLOGIES FOR ANY CROSS POSTING *** Dear Colleague NEW! Two Extra 'Special' Forum events in May: Introduction to Postgraduate Marketing and Student Recruitment London Monday 12 May AND Manchester Thursday 22 May In response to requests from colleagues in the sector, we are running these two 'extra' Forum events in May, in London and Manchester. Our Introduction to Postgraduate Marketing and Student Recruitment events are specifically designed to provide a starting point for any staff in Higher Education who: - are new to postgraduate marketing and student recruitment and admissions issues - are new to HE - want a refresher and update AND - work in a central OR faculty OR subject area, in a marketing, student recruitment, or admissions role, including academic admissions tutors If none of the above applies to you, please do forward this on to colleagues you think may find it helpful. Our next scheduled 'standard' PG Marketing Forum event will take place on June 5th in London - booking opens soon. These events, which offer plenty of networking and discussion opportunities, will provide delegates with an overview of the current postgraduate marketplace, and we will be discussing both strategic and operational challenges faced by Universities in this area. We will also be looking at a wide range of practical marketing ideas and quick wins in postgraduate student recruitment and marketing. Each of the events will include a student panel so that delegates can hear first hand from students about their expectations of looking and applying for postgraduate study and funding. Please do pass this message on to any colleagues who have recently joined your area, or who are new to postgraduate and therefore may not themselves receive this email. Further details about the event, and a provisional programme are given below. As usual, we are offering a reduced rate if you or a colleague from your Department have attended before. More information on the Forum, costs and an online booking form for this event can be found at: http://www.postgraduatestudentships.co.uk/pgmarketingforum We look forward to seeing you at the events.
