What type of events will be happening during development weeks?

Development Weeks events will be delivered by academics, staff and students from across the University, Students' Union, clubs and societies, employers and community partners and will take place across the University Campuses, both indoors and outdoors. Some events may involve travelling outside the City.

Competitive funding will be available for activities delivered by students. Full details will available here soon.

Activities will range from discussions and debates to exhibitions, interactive workshops, student conferences, poster sessions, work-based exercises, internships, bootcamps, showcases, work shadowing and online activities as well as other opportunities such as outdoors activities, hands-on, arts and theatre. Many will lead to Degree Plus accreditation. 

Guidelines for activity organisers will be available here soon.

What are the themes of the events?

Events will fall under the following broad categories which are aligned with Degree Plus:

            →       Global 

            →       Citizenship 

            →       Work Experience 

            →       Professional and Career Development 

What are the advantages of delivering an event?

Delivering an event as part of the Development Weeks programme is an opportunity for:

• Academic staff to engage with and inspire students by introducing them to a subject or area they may not have experienced before, engage with their own subject in a new way, or to provide them with the chance to learn skills that will enhance their employability. 
• Students to build self-confidence, skills and experience as well as to inspire peers and engage them in activities which may lead to Degree Plus recognition.
• Clubs and Societies to promote their areas of interest to a wider audience, grow their membership and showcase expertise and talent.
• Employers to engage directly with students to promote opportunities available from their company and achieve closer fit between needs of their business and potential future employees.
• Charities to promote their social aims and objectives to a wider audience and match students to opportunities locally, nationally and internationally.
