The 8th European First Year Experience Conference

by Jemma Strachan

This friendly international conference attracts colleagues from around the world intersted in improving the students' first year experience.

This year the conference is being hosted by Nottingham Trent University from 9 - 11 June 2014.

There will be two main themes this year:

1. The student lifecycle
- How do we prepare students for their new lives at university?
- How do we best deliver new students' inductions?
- How do we help students to make the transition through the year?
- How do we prepare students for subsequent studies?

2. Building a first year experience for international students
- With increasing opportunities across Europe, how do we build a first year experience to suit students studying beyond the borders of their home country?

Call for Participation
Proposals are welcomed from colleagues around the world.  Guidance and forms can be downloaded from the conference website.  Submissions will be blind peer reviewed and the closing date for submission is 24 January 2014.

Further information about the conference is available on the EFYE2014 website and any questions can be directed to EFYE2014@ntu.ac.uk

Registration for the conference will open on the conference website in the coming weeks.
