An Introduction to HE: A Programme for new Managers and Administrators
Three day external programme
 

This programme provides an excellent introduction for professionals entering the Higher Education sector.  Over the 3 days you will gain an insight into a wide spectrum of issues influencing HE.  You will hear from speakers, including vice-chancellors and deputies, registrars, directors of professional services and senior academics, whose sessions provide a 'fast-track' to understanding many of the key aspects of the higher education system.

Please note funding for this will need to be met by individual departments.

Organised by The Leadership Foundation
