Comments Tony Rogers, chief executive of BACD; “We already have close and valued links with the academic sector. BACD advises on new programme development, provides speakers to universities and colleges, and regularly communicates with lecturers. The launch of the BACD student membership is the logical next step in building our bridges with academia.”
