You are cordially invited to an interactive workshop championing human-centred design in Higher Education. This event is for professional and academic staff, and students.

Transforming Higher Education with Human Centred Design - based on a book available in the library - link here.

Student expectations are at an all-time high—many now seek "value for money" as they invest in their future. In response to these challenges, Human-Centred Design in Higher Education presents a groundbreaking approach to reshaping learning environments by addressing critical needs from the ground up. Join us for an interactive workshop where you’ll learn how adopting a human-centred approach can yield lasting benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Student Experience

Create inclusive, accessible, and effective learning environments that directly address student needs, ensuring a positive impact on engagement and satisfaction.

  • Operational Efficiency

Uncover strategies to streamline administrative processes, minimise bottlenecks, and focus efforts on high-value initiatives that benefit students and staff alike.

  • Collaboration and Innovation

Break down silos by bringing educators, administrators, and students together to build a cohesive, adaptable institution ready for continuous improvement.

Bonus: All attendees are entered to win a free copy of Human-Centred Design in Higher Education in an exclusive raffle! Plus, enjoy other surprises and resources designed to equip you with fresh perspectives and valuable tools.

Secure your spot today and be part of this exciting journey toward a more responsive, student-focused approach in higher education.
