ARC is the national forum of senior managers responsible for the academic administration of student matters in publicly funded universities and colleges of higher education in the UK. The annual conference brings senior leaders together to discuss issues affecting academic administration and to promote and share best practices.

Under the theme ‘Adapt for the future’, this year’s conference will explore how project and change management will be hugely important to our ability to adapt for the future, new business models and new ways of working, whilst still delivering quality and timely services that offer continual service improvement and demonstrate tangible benefits to our users and stakeholders.
