UKAT and LVSA
Significant changes are on the horizon in higher education, and most of them do not appear particularly favourable. This is true for the UK and the Netherlands, as well as for many other countries around us. Therefore, the fifth LVSA-UKAT online symposium will partly focus on sharing experiences and concerns. However, we also aim to explore how student guidance can adapt to these changes – in the interest of academic advisors and other student support staff, but certainly in the interest of our students.
Are you curious to learn how colleagues in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Finland, and other countries view the changes in higher education and how they are attempting to respond to them? Then register for this event to take part and find out.
Please note: the language of the event will be English.
