Responding to your feedback
You said, we are listening and responding
Your University and Students' Union will make sure your voice is heard and your feedback is shared with the appropriate departments. When you submit feedback through the Student Voice form, your Course Representative or one of our surveys, this is reported and discussed at School Student Experience Committees and escalated to the Student Experience & Student Voice Working Group, where appropriate.
Based on your feedback, we will develop recommendations and actions for enhancement.
The Student Voice is really important to us. The feedback we receive from students help us improve the overall student experience.
