Business & Community Engagement

Higher education business and community engagement describes partnerships between universities and members of the public, schools, businesses and the wider community. We have a thriving engagement community, and are constantly developing new and exciting ways of sharing academic research with the wider public, to forge mutually beneficial partnerships between communities and the School.

Here in EAS we build upon teaching, learning and research projects within the School to:
  • promote equalities in professional education and professional practice
  • encourage enthusiasm for subjects suffering from declining uptake at secondary school
  • lead to new opportunities for learning and research
  • communicate the School’s work to the public
  • encourage applications to university from under-represented groups
  • promote community engagement in student learning; through curriculum development
