The country’s biggest in-person event for HE professionals is back! 

The AUA Annual Conference is returning on 3rd and 4th July right here at the University of Warwick. Come and connect with HE professionals from 150+ institutions and take part in our vast programme of working sessions, alongside progressive discussions and guest speaker masterclasses.

The Professional Services make up a large body of staff at Warwick whose work has a direct, or indirect, impact on students’ day to day experience of studying at university.

The new network, and conference events, are for the ‘do-ers’ – staff and teams both in student-facing roles, and behind the scenes, who plan and deliver the services that contribute to students’ daily life at Warwick.

Departmental Directors of Student Experience are also warmly welcomed to the event and network, recognising that joining up work on the student experience is key to success.
