Regent’s student development programme, SCOPE, helps students to maximise their academic, personal, and professional learning and development. Sessions take place weekly and are free to attend to any students wishing to take part. They are a fantastic way to develop critical thinking, learn valuable skills and build positive networks – supplementing your academic studies whilst enriching your personal growth and elevating your career prospects. We encourage students to take advantage of as many sessions as possible.
