A look at good practice from QAA's review of research degree programmes

QAA is jointly hosting an event with UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) which will examine examples of good practice identified in the two reports (one for England and Northern Ireland, and one for Wales), published by QAA in February 2007. The reports can be accessed in the Reviews section.

The event will take place at Scarman House, University of Warwick on Thursday 6 December 2007, 10.00 - 17.00.

To book your place, please use the online booking form on the UKCGE website. The cost of this workshop is £155 for UKCGE members or £205 for non-members.
