Access and Admissions to Higher Education #accessHE
30 Oct 2012
Broadcast from Central London

Headline Speakers

As the first cohort of students enter higher education under the new funding regime, questions are already being asked about whether demand will recover from the 10% drop in England in 2012 and what more the higher education sector can do to improve access and admissions across the United Kingdom.

This online event will learn from good practice on access and outreach, consider how access agreements can continue to be fit for purpose and establish how collaborative activity can deliver for your institution.
