Professional Liaison Network
The Professional Liaison Network (PLN) connect students and academics from the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences with professionals and organisations around the world.
For students, we create real-world experiences so you can apply your discipline outside the classroom. This enables you to understand the impact you can make with your degree and build the skills, insight, and networks you need to thrive after graduation.
For professionals, we bring fresh thinking into your organisation on the challenges you are facing, connect you to future talent, give you opportunities to network with other professionals and connect you to cutting edge academic research on relevant subjects.
For academic colleagues, we support you to collaborate with external organisations to exchange knowledge, create impactful research and develop applied learning in your teaching that is connected to the real-world.
Our programme is designed to enrich students’ academic studies and enable experiences that will help them to thrive after graduation. We support collaboration between organisations and the University, developing lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships that create impact.
