Whilst taught postgraduate student numbers have increased by over 70% in the past decade, taught postgraduate degrees are still regarded as something of a ‘fringe activity’ in the UK, all too often falling in the gap between undergraduate and research degree provision. Where do taught postgraduates fit in and how much do we know about their experiences? This event interrogates the taught postgraduate student experience from a number of perspectives to share information and good practice, and as well as gauge diverse experiences across the sector through guided discussions.
Topics will include what postgraduate students are telling us about their experiences, the QAA consultation on draft new master's degree characteristics reference point, the challenges in offering premium fee/distance-learning/non-standard masters programmes, and meeting the needs of international and part-time postgraduate taught students. In addition to a series of interactive workshop sessions and presentations, delegates will also have the opportunity to discuss the issues with colleagues from other institutions in order to understand and develop good-practice within the sector.
This programme has been designed for academic staff and administrative staff involved with or managing, supporting or supervising postgraduate taught students including: Graduate Deans, Academic Staff, Research Managers and Administrative and Staff Development personnel.
The cost of this workshop is £175 for UKCGE Members and £225 for non-members. This includes, lunch refreshments and a delegate pack.
