International Teachers’ and Advisers’ Conference 2020 – CANCELLED

Emma leads the University of Southampton’s Learn with US Transition Programme. Her background is as a social scientist, completing her PhD in political science in 2014. Having been especially interested in teaching and learning whilst undertaking her PhD, Emma was keen to use her experience of academic research to facilitate the smooth transition of students as they make their way into higher education, facilitating the acquisition of the necessary research and academic skills demanded of degree level study. This is precisely the focus of the Learn with US Transition Programme, which looks to support Level 3 research-based projects, including the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), Independent or International Project Qualifications (IPQ), and IB Extended Essay, amongst others.
