It’s exciting today to be part of the launch at Kingston University of Michelle Morgan’s £2m HEFCE project exploring Post Graduate Student Experiences. The project involves nine UK universities and will last two years. I am contributing as part of the steering group, in part because of my experience running my NTFS project on Masters Level Assessment. Michelle’s project has the potential to really enhance learning at Postgrad level.
