The Institutional Employer Board engages with employers, and regional and national organisations, to enhance and inform our education, employability development and business engagement strategies. Our Programme Advisory Boards / Employer Liaison Groups, or equivalent, consist of internal and external representatives, including students and alumni, employers, and community stakeholders – they help shape and inform the curriculum and educational opportunities for students within specific programmes of study.
