Unipol and UKCISA are developing a project (as part of PMI2) to produce guidance for the HE and FE sectors on international students and accommodation. As part of this project we are running two seminars: one in central London and one in Leeds that are designed to act as a crucible for discussion and the identification of good practice. Both seminars are free of charge and will take the form of structured discussions covering a number of key areas of interest.
This is your chance to help set the national agenda for improving the experience of international students in their accommodation. All participants and examples of good practice will be acknowledged in the good practice guidance document that will be published July 2010.
