About this event

This event will be an opportunity for us to celebrate our partnerships with you and enable you to network with colleagues from local institutions across the Black Country.

There will also be an update on the university transformation programme and how we are ensuring we best support our students, partners and wider communities. There will also be insight on wider education sector trends in terms of subject areas of interest and the job market.

The event will be held at our city campus (further details to follow) and will include a tour of our new £5 million Screen School, a dynamic and industry-led space designed for screen-based media courses. Delegates will join academics on a tour of the facilities and find out about the creative industries sector and how our courses are committed to upskilling a new and diverse workforce in an industry where there is a shortage of graduate skills locally and regionally.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. We will also reimburse the cost of travel to and from the event for all delegates.
