  • whether this improves the quality of teaching and the experiences of students

After attending this session you will

  • understand how to link your teaching, research and evidence impact, and;
  • be able to explore how this could be embedded into the culture of your department and UCL

Who should attend

Academics, professionals services and postgraduate research students will find this particularly useful.
