Office for Students

Our regional strategy workshop events are back!    Earlier this year, we ran three workshop events across England to give higher education students and staff the opportunity to share their views on the OfS’s future strategic direction.    We’re now running two more events in Warwick and Sheffield this September.    To attend either of the events, register your place here: bit.ly/3xrRIuf
