Representation

The primary purpose of a Students' Union is to represent the voice of all students to ensure you get a quality educational experience. Course Reps act as the link between students and staff to raise concerns on behalf of students and help make improvements to the teaching and learning of your course.

What is Feedback?

Feedback is designed to inspire change or progression. This is a chance to share either positive or constructive thoughts and opinions about your experience at university so far. Constructive feedback always contains the problem, but most importantly, the intended solution.

To submit your feedback through the right platform, consider what your feedback is about:

This is feedback that reflects your own personal experience. For example, my course tutor supported me with xyz, or I had a poor experience when reaching out to the customer service team because of xyz.

Submit it via our Online Feedback Platform: All feedback is confidential. The SU will assess your feedback and share it to the relevant university, or academic department, who will get in touch with you with a resolution. We may contact you for more information to support you with your feedback.

This is feedback that reflects the experience of you and your classmates or a student group. For example, the librarian assigned to our course has been very helpful with xyz, or the current module assessment can be improved by doing xyz.

Attend Focus Groups and Roundtable Feedback Events: These meetings are a great way for your voice to be heard and to bring positive change to your learning experience – make sure you share your feedback with your Course Rep before the next Feedback Event. You can find minutes and dates of future meetings for your study location below.

This is feedback that reflects the experience of a community of students you belong to. For example, the Black History Month campaign run by the Students’ Union has been beneficial to my community because of xyz, or the support and guidance provided by the university about xyz has not been useful to students in my community because of xyz.

Submit it via our Online Feedback Platform: All feedback is confidential. The SU will assess your feedback and send it to the relevant university department who will get in touch with you with a resolution. We may contact you for more information to support you with your feedback.

You can also leave your feedback through national surveys, such as: the National Student Survey (NSS), the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) or the Participant in Research Experience Survey (PRES).

Current students will also be given the opportunity to complete Module Evaluation Questionnaires (MEQs) - these are online questionnaires sent to students at the end of each semester to collect data on student satisfaction.
