Complete Details

Maintaining the highest standards of governance and regulatory compliance is a foundational responsibility of the Academic Registrar. This seminar, hosted in the historic and prestigious Merchant Hotel in Belfast, is designed to provide an exhaustive update on the legal and ethical frameworks governing UK Higher Education. As external scrutiny from bodies like the Office for Students (OfS) and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) intensifies, this event serves as a vital briefing for those responsible for institutional adherence to complex standards.

The day will feature legal experts specializing in education law, providing clarity on evolving student contracts, consumer rights, and the legalities of student discipline and appeals. Furthermore, the seminar will explore the registrar’s role in institutional research governance, ensuring that ethical standards are maintained across all academic pursuits. Through a series of expert presentations and guided peer reviews, attendees will evaluate their current institutional policies against national benchmarks. This is a high-level networking and learning event that ensures registrars are not merely reacting to regulation, but are proactively shaping a culture of compliance and excellence within their universities.

Key Event Highlights

Legal briefing on student consumer rights and contracts. Workshop on navigating QAA and OfS regulatory changes. Sessions on research ethics and institutional governance. Roundtable on managing complex student appeals and complaints. Networking reception in the historic Merchant Hotel.
