Pensions awareness sessions

A series of pension awareness sessions for staff will take place across campuses throughout August.

A series of face-to-face sessions and presentations are being held to raise awareness about pensions. The University has arranged for these to be delivered by independent advisors Mercer, who provided similar sessions last year which were well attended and received positive feedback.       

These open sessions will give an overview of the workplace pension arrangements that the University offers and will provide clarity around current issues that may affect your pension. You will also have the chance to ask any pension related questions.
