Abstract

The case study is based on the HEA SEP project "Embedding employability into the curriculum" and demonstartes the impact the programme has had on Regent's University London.

Through the HEA’s Strategic Enhancement Programme, RUL brought together both academic and support staff from across the University to work together on improving the
employability of Regent’s graduates. The group was tasked with identifying best practice from across the institution and the sector - through the Programme’s network meetings -
supporting new initiatives and ensuring that these would become fully embedded across all degree programmes.
