The University places great value on the opinions of its students and there are numerous opportunities for you to get involved at both departmental and faculty level, here you can have your say and also to represent the views of other students. These opportunities are supplemented by a range of surveys and evaluations which you will be invited to participate.
Student Voice is a key aspect of how our course continue to develop. The School of AHPNM listens to the Student Voice in many ways these include both informal conversations inside and outside the classroom and more formal activities such as Year Group Meeting with your Programme Lead, Tell Us Module/Unit and Programme level survey responses, the National Student Survey and Student Voice Meetings between Student Academic Reps and staff.
In the School we have a number of Student Voice Committees that relate to the programme and/or profession of study. These committees enable discussions between the Student Academic Reps and staff, work is also undertaken to solve issues that may arise or to highlight good practice so it can be shared with others.
