Context
The aim of the Student Engagement Committee is to provide a forum for students to provide feedback and evaluation that will lead to an enhancement of the student experience once resultant actions are implemented.
Student Representatives are the main port of communication between the student body and the University. The Student Engagement Committee provides an opportunity for students to identify good practice within their programmes as well as areas that they consider in need of review.
Terms of Reference
- To provide the main formal venue for the student body to provide feedback on a range of issues related to the operation of the programmes.
- To provide the student body with outcomes of the feedback provided and what enhancement of the provision or services of the University has been made as a result of their feedback.
- To provide a venue for student consultation on the development of policies, procedures, and proposals to enhance the delivery and assessment of the programmes, and act as a conduit to Faculties, Academic Senior Management Team, and Senior Management Team for students’ recommendations and/or suggestions.
- To provide a forum to enable and support student contributions to the Teaching Excellence Framework.
