How do we ensure that academic programmes are relevant to the workplace?
Presented by: Professor Osama Khan - Pro-Vice Chancellor, Academic Education Office, University of Surrey ; Dr Jan McArthur - Senior Lecturer, Department of Educational Research, Lancaster University
In this session, our speakers will explore how we can ensure that students are prepared for employment during their time in academia. How do we deliver academic rigour and practical skills?

- Inviting people from the industry for workshops and guest lectures is a good way to get a few things in order.
- Offering additional courses, based on the current market needs, is another way.
- Maybe having a professional teach as a visiting faculty can reduce the difference between academia and industry.
- Planning meetups with old students who are working in the industry can also help in planning necessary changes.
