A City on The Rise: Adapting to meet the needs of our students.
Join us for our annual Teachers and Advisers conference which aims to bring together educators and industry experts from the north-east and beyond.
Our 2025 conference will allow you to explore how the University of Sunderland and the wider city are adapting to meet the ever-changing needs of students. We'll showcase the key developments taking place in our city whilst highlighting how our current and future students will benefit from their implementation.
Held in the Prospect building at our Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter’s, you'll have the opportunity to network with other delegates, university staff and current students.
Guest Speakers
Hear from our guest speakers about how investments can benefit your students and enhance their Higher Education experience. We'll be joined by a variety of speakers delivering sessions related to education and careers after graduation.
As well as an important update from UCAS, we'll also have our “City on the Rise” panel discussion, which will include Kalam Neale, Head of Education at British Esports, Nick Malyan from Sunderland Culture, and Lee Hall, Head of School of Media & Creative Industries at the University of Sunderland.
CPD Workshops
The day will include a variety of breakout sessions, where you can choose from topics that interest you the most.
Sessions on offer include:
- Building pathways to success: Understanding university support systems
- Embedding DEI in educational spaces
- Behaviour management: Continuing to support learners in a post-pandemic world
Attendees from last year's conference praised the organisation and industry relevant talks and sessions,saying that it was “a well-organised and attentive conference… I would recommend it to any of my colleagues interested in exploring education beyond their usual environment and looking for valuable CPD.”
