Teaching and Learning Conference 2019: Embracing the university: Experiential solutions for effective transitions

This session aims to explore the efficacy of an ambitious attempt to integrate active learning research employability and community building into a Level 4 induction programme. In order to achieve this the session will explain the theoretical underpinnings of the approach adopted; consider the nature of the institution and departments involved; detail the specific interventions undertaken and reflect upon the findings from a range of stakeholders. The session will conclude with a synopsis of lessons learnt and considerations for colleagues at other institutions.
