Industry Advisory Panels
Contribute your expertise and experience to the future working generation, through one of our Industry Advisory Boards or Industry Advisory Panels.
Industry Advisory Boards
Industry Advisory Boards provide opportunities for you, the industry experts, to contribute towards the strategic direction of academic programmes. The boards assist in ensuring that degree programmes:
- reflect current developments and trends
- meet skill requirements
- ensure course content is shaped from an industry perspective
The boards are also an opportunity for you to advise on academic research activites, as well as support activities to improve student and graduate employability. For an example please see The Business School Advisory Board.
Industry Advisory Panels
Industry Advisory Panels operate at a school or course level, providing opportunities for students to interact directly with you, the employer. Panels tend to comprise industry professionals and alumni from the University, who will meet a few times a year to:
- answer questions from groups of students
- contribute to lectures and seminars
- present at school / course events
- advertise and offer internships and work placement opportunities
For an example please see Industry Advisory Panel for Film, Radio and Television in the School of Media, Art and Design.
