2016 Conference Employability
The UH Annual Learning and Teaching Conference will be held on Thursday 5th May 2016
To build on the collegiate approach of previous conferences, and aligned with the University's ambition to be Internationally renowned as the UK's Leading Business-Facing University, this year's annual Learning and Teaching Conference theme is "Employability".
The morning session of the conference will include keynote addresses from leading Graduate Recruitment specialists and parallel strands for presentations.

We expect that this will be a stimulating, creative and enjoyable day and we welcome your participation. The conference will be held in the Lindop building on the College Lane site. Lunch and refreshments will be provided and attendance is free. Places can be booked via the Staff Portal. Search: Key Word - Annual; Category - Academic Practice.
