Our launch conference brought together students and student representatives, higher education providers, academics, politicians and third sector organisations, to discuss and debate the role of the Office for Students.
Delegates had the opportunity to hear about our new regulatory framework, and develop a clear understanding of our strategic priorities, as well as how we will regulate the higher education sector in the interest of students.
