T-levels are a set of qualifications offered in England where one T-level, a mix of classroom-based study and work placement, equivalent to 3 A-levels. They are appearing ever more regularly on UCAS applications, but should you admit those students? If not, what? And what should be done?

This webinar will include:

The findings of the EPC’s in-depth research into the real strengths and weaknesses of T levels, A levels and other level 3 qualifications.
A presentation by Pearson, the new providers of future Engineering T-levels, about their plans for an overhaul.
Share your views on what you’d like to see changed – this is a genuine moment of consultation and an opportunity to influence the future.

This is an important webinar for anyone involved in admissions, recruitment and access; strategic planning or curriculum design, especially foundation years.

This event will feed into the wider consultation that Pearson is pursuing to inform its future development of T levels. As well as attending the webinar, you can contribute to the consultation through the survey.

REF 2029 Update and AI in Engineering Education

The annual PHEE-AiME Conference which will now be delivered online in a half day on the morning of Wednesday 13 May 2026.

In addition to two well balanced sessions providing the latest update on REF 2029 and recent developments on AI in Engineering Education, the Conference will incorporate the latest update on Challenges to AHEP 4 and Opportunities for AHEP5.

Full Conference Programme

All engineering colleagues at your university are welcome free of charge. Registration required.

There will be a meeting of the RA committee taking place Monday 27th April at midday.

There will be a meeting of the Inclusive Engineering Toolkit Expert Working Group Meeting on Friday 17th April 2026 from 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM . Please note this is for current members of the Expert Working Group only.

This year’s EPC free to attend Public Lecture will be delivered by one of the greatest living scientists, Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell CH DBE FRS FRSE FRAS FInstP HonMRIA HonFLSWn, the astrophysicist who, among her many accolades, discovered pulsars while still a doctoral student – a breakthrough that subsequently attracted a Nobel Prize for her supervisor.

Bell Burnell has worked tirelessly to support women scientists, donating and raising millions of pounds to fund scholarships. Fittingly, she will take ‘Women in science & engineering’ as her theme.

The lecture will be hosted by the University of Strathclyde as the opening session of this year’s Engineering Academics Network Annual Congress.

Free to attend, but registration required. Register here.

You do not have to register for the whole Congress to attend the lecture, but you can do so here.

If you do register to attend Congress, you do not have to register separately for the public lecture.
