Forthcoming seminars:
Friday November 2nd, 1-2pm Staffroom, 3rd Floor, KGVI Building.

The presentation will reflect on how the rise in tuition fees introduced by the UK coalition government is influencing students’ expectations and satisfaction, and on the repercussions that this may have on the relationship between students and teaching members of staff. In this context, the learning experiences of students enrolled in the BA in Town Planning at the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (SAPL) at Newcastle University during the academic year 2010-11 are explored as a case-study.
