Let’s Debate Higher Education
Wednesday 15th July 7.30-9.00pm, KG01, Talbot Campus.
As part of the Festival of Learning, this event gives you the chance to have your say and voice your opinions on key issues facing the higher education sector. You’re welcome to join us for the evening to hear what our panel members have to say and to participate in the discussion. Led by a diverse panel including: students, sabbatical officers and people in industry, the debate will be focused around 3 questions.
Should students be leaving university with upwards of £40k of debt? Have too many people got degrees nowadays? Do students add value to the local community?
We hope you can join us for this event with light refreshments, which will see lively debates and discussions. To confirm your attendance, please register for the event here. On the evening, please make your way to KG01 on Talbot Campus.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Emma Bambury-Whitton
