Higher Education: The future of student accommodation

Webinar | Education

About This Webinar

Thursday 10 February 2022, 09:30 – 10:00

University campuses are places where students from across the globe are brought together to live and study. This unique ecosystem has been significantly disrupted by the pandemic forcing students to return home mid-semester and creating uncertainty in their social and academic lives.

Despite this however, student numbers are rising, with a record number of 18-year-olds applying for full-time undergraduate courses in 2021/22. It is therefore, more important than ever for universities to ensure their offering allows students to get the most out of their campus experience.
