Part Time Students in Higher Education: Issues of Integration, Support and Retention.

This popular conference was first held at Birkbeck University in February 2008. Due to the level of interest that event attracted, the UALL Student Support Network is pleased to offer a similar conference on 11 November at Nottingham University's Jubilee Campus. The workshops that were available in February are also offered at this event, although the keynote speakers are Sue Webb (University of Sheffield) and Geoff Layer (University of Bradford), both of whom will create a slightly focus to this conference.
