INTRODUCING UNIC
THE EVOLUTION OF EDUCATION: WHY DIGITAL CREDENTIALING IS THE FUTURE FOR JOB SEEKERS
The University of Bristol is one of the most popular and successful universities in the UK and was recently ranked within the top 50 universities in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2018.
Through its sponsorship of the 4th Wharton-QS Reimagine Education Awards, the University of Bristol is working with partners to drive innovation, inventiveness and student-centred learning – all values which are fundamental to the institution itself.
The University has had a reputation for innovation since its founding in 1876. Its research tackles some of the world’s most pressing issues in areas as diverse as infection and immunity, human rights, climate change, and cryptography and information security.
The University currently has 40 Fellows of the Royal Society and 15 of the British Academy – a remarkable achievement for a relatively small institution.
Silver Sponsor of the 2017 Reimagine Education Conference
Just like the Reimagine Education Conference, the University aims to bring together the best minds from around the world. Bristol is a global institution which attracts leading researchers from different disciplines and institutions around the world, and provides an environment where they can work together to find lasting solutions to some of the biggest issues facing our modern world.
The University is involved in numerous international research collaborations and integrate practical experience in our curriculum, so that students work on real-life projects in partnership with business, government and community sectors.
It is therefore perhaps unsurprising that Bristol graduates are among the most employable in the world – and the third most targeted in the UK by top employers.
The University has a synergistic relationship with the city of Bristol – a thriving, cosmopolitan city and one of the Europe’s most liveable and connected cities. This year Bristol was voted the number one place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times. Less than two hours from London, Bristol is fast establishing itself as a hub for digital innovation – a position greatly enhanced by innovative investments and partnerships between the University and the Council.
Through its presence at this conference, the University of Bristol will reach out to fellow academics, innovators, investors, policy-makers and teachers, and will play an active part in the discussion about how educational practice can be transformed.
