This year we’re excited to launch our new learning, teaching and assessment strategy that has a key focus on the educative use of AI, and the embedding of transdisciplinary approaches that ensure we are developing empowered graduates ready to solve global challenges.”

Later in the afternoon Professors Alison Honour (DVC) and Berry Billingsley (Future of Knowledge) will co-present an open lecture with input from help of an expert panel that examines what is the future of universities and the future of AI.
