Episode 3 of Digging Deeper looks at our journey into online learning. UCEM has been providing education for more than 100 years. Unsurprisingly, it is only for the latter part of our history that all teaching resources have been provided online. In this latest episode of Digging Deeper, UCEM PR and Social Media Manager, Andrew Belt, is joined by Lynne Downey (Vice Principal – Digital Education and Professional Services) who managed the institution’s transition to become fully online, and Kate Lindsay, our Head of Digital Education. Lynne discusses the process of transforming UCEM’s teaching provision to a wholly online model and Kate brings us up to date with where we are now and where we are headed as the leading provider of supported online education for the Built Environment. Lynne and Kate also offer advice for other institutions looking to move online and share their top entertainment picks and activities during lockdown! (Originally released: 19 June 2020)

How much of an impact does the built environment have on our daily lives? How does the sector address sustainability? What do you gain from a career in the built environment? Our construction management programme leader, Christine Gausden, answers all these questions and reflects on her own specialism and how studying on one of her programmes can benefit you going forward in this podcast. UCEM PR and social media manager, Andrew Belt, asks the questions.
The built environment comprises a diverse and exciting range of sectors, but there is still a lack of representation at every level. We want this to change.
‘Be Part of the Change’ is an awareness campaign with the purpose of celebrating the incredible success stories of our under-represented students, apprentices and alumni, as well as highlighting their challenges.
It’s also an opportunity to highlight the positive practices our employers are actioning within their organisations to inspire other companies in their approach.
In the seventh episode of our Be Part of the Change podcast, Danial Shaikh, Student Officer for Disability and Mental Health and Apprentice at UCEM, is joined by Batul Daulby, Principal Education Psychologist and Founder of CF Psychology.
The topics discussed in this episode include:
- The early signs that a student may have an SpLD
- Where students should go to seek help
- The common misconceptions of SpLDs
- How friends and family can support SpLDs
- Batul's tips for educators and employers

In the fourth podcast of our series looking at how COVID-19 has affected built environment professions and organisations, we speak to UCEM’s Principal, Ashley Wheaton, and head of facilities, Kathy Matthews, about the impact of the pandemic on the institution. What has it been like to lead an organisation through the COVID-19 pandemic? What has the past year and a bit been like for facilities managers? Ashley and Kathy answer these questions, respectively, and many more posed by UCEM’s PR and social media manager, Andrew Belt, as we shine the spotlight on UCEM during this challenging period.
What challenges does climate change bring to the Built Environment? How can Built Environment professionals meet these challenges? And what challenges are faced by our existing Built Environment in the face of changing sustainable requirements of the 21st century? Our MSc Building Surveying Programme Leader, James Ritson, answers these questions and more in this 20-minute podcast with UCEM PR and Social Media Manager, Andrew Belt.

With the dust settling on COP26, we are reflecting on the event and one of the questions posed in the media was whether the UK was the right choice of host. We got our building surveying programme leader, James Ritson, and CertHE programme leader, Hazel Lobo, to debate as to whether the UK was a good or bad host. James argued on behalf of the statement ‘the UK was a good host’ and Hazel argued in favour of the statement ‘the UK was a bad host’, with UCEM PR and social media manager, Andrew Belt, chairing the debate. Listen in and head to our website to vote in the poll - https://www.ucem.ac.uk/whats-happening/articles/podcast-cop-reflections-was-the-uk-a-good-or-bad-host/
