Oxford Brookes University has won a bid to run the first centre of its kind for hospitality, leisure, sport and tourism tutors, writes Madeleine Pennell.
Its School of Hotel and Restaurant Management now runs the first Learning and Teaching Support Network Centre for these subjects in the country.
Aiming to improve the quality of teaching, the centre will be a resource for tutors who will be able to get the latest books and go to seminars and events there.
It is one of 24 centres in the country but the others specialise in different subjects, ranging from medicine to English.
They are financed by the Higher Education Funding Councils for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Brookes will receive 240,000 each year for three years to spend on running the centre, publishing books and holding seminars.
