Opportunity for All. Is it time to re-imagine Higher Education?


Higher Education has a responsibility to provide equality of opportunity for students from all backgrounds to access and succeed in their studies. In his Inaugural Professorial Lecture, Mat Timmis will reflect on how delivering equality of opportunity for all students requires higher education to adopt bold and innovative approaches within their ways of working. Drawing on innovations from across the sector, his own subject area of Sport and Exercise Science, along with his own research, Mat will highlight innovation and provide challenge.
