Annual Teachers' and Advisers' Conference 2023

We are delighted to once again be able to host an in-person conference and hope many of you will be able to join us for a day of updates on the UK Higher Education landscape, subject-specific sessions delivered by our world-renowned academics, and guest speakers for Continued Professional Development (CPD). 

We are currently working on plans for our 2023 Conference and will be updating this page shortly with the details. The event will feature:

• Updates from UCAS
• Updates from Student Finance England
• CPD sessions, including 'Getting students to think ahead to University and raising aspirations.'

The event will also include tours of our campus and facilities, as well as a networking lunch.  

A bursary of up to £100 is available for our Schools Membership Plus partners. This can be used for travel to our Colchester campus or for staff cover. If you are unsure whether your school or college falls into this category, please get in touch.

Booking is now open and you can see our 2022 programme below:
