Brighton University Seminar 15.4.15

"On Wednesday I was delighted to welcome Sue Perry from Brighton University, who presented and took questions from M5 and DP students on the process of applying to the UK, and in particular Brighton University. She also gave an overview of the study programmes and life at Brighton University, and the new methods that they have developed to support students through their degree and into their future careers. I was impressed with the modern methods that Brighton University uses, that are very much in line with our educational practice at SIS. For example turnitin.com the plagiarism checker is at the heart of the Universities academic rigour, mirroring our use of Managebac with turnitin. The move to online support sites in their VLE with the resources for each course, also mirrors our teachers work in developing google sites. Finally the support for their students to establish internships and work placements whilst still at University, in part through their Ambassador programme, is in line with our programme of Conventions that allow students to make connections for M5 work experience. Thanks goes to Sarah Burgess for making this link, and we look forward to seeing Brighton University return for seminars in the future." Jason Munges U&C Coordinator
