  • 'Introducing QAA' workshops Study UK is pleased to announce a series of workshops in partnership with the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) for colleges that will be undergoing their first QAA review in the next year. The first workshops to be confirmed will take place on December 15th and on January 10-11th in London (Docklands). These workshops are sure to be extremely popular, providing a unique opportunity for advice and preparation to any independent college accepted for QAA review under the new Educational Oversight arrangements. Early booking is therefore advised, and Study UK members benefit from a discounted rate. Click here for a PDF with full details or visit the QAA website. Any enquiries should be directed to Charlie Leyland at QAA, on 01452 557017 or c.leyland@qaa.ac.uk.
  • Universities Minister David Willetts to speak at AGM Study UK’s 2011 AGM and Conference will be held on Friday 25th November at the Westminster Conference Centre (1 Victoria Street, SW1H 0ET) owned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Non-Members can attend for a fee of £35 (which will be refunded should you decide to join up for membership in 2012), to give everyone in the sector a valuable opportunity at this difficult time to come together and discuss recent developments, their current concerns and hopes for the future. The Rt Hon David Willetts MP, Minister of State for Universities and Science, will speak on his vision for the sector, and he will be joined by Martin Williams, Director of HE Policy at BIS, in setting out how private providers can play a key part in the country's educational landscape. This combination of minister and top civil servant will provide a unique insight into the Government's plans for the sector, and should not be missed especially by those institutions at the HE end of the spectrum. The UK Border Agency will also speak about the latest changes in immigration policy and give advice on successfully navigating this complex transitional period, as will Nichola Carter, Head of Immigration at Pennington's Solicitors. If you would like to attend, please complete the attached booking form and submit to info@study-uk.org by 4pm on Monday 21st November.
