- Conducting interviews
- Undertaking a literature review
- Conducting a survey
- Recruiting project participants.
Interested students complete an application form which includes providing supporting statements about:
- Reasons for wanting to become a Student Fellow
- Relevant experience in performing research tasks and match with the specific projects described in the application pack
- Relevant achievements and skills
- Skills to be developed as a student fellow and how undertaking a student fellowship would enhance academic, professional and personal development.

The CODE Student Research Fellows initiative commenced in 2019, but was limited by Covid-19 and demands on staff time, so we are pleased to see this relaunched this year.
Following a recruitment round during summer 2022, we have now finalised the 20 CODE Student Research Fellows for 2022-23, drawn from across the Globe, from a variety of academic programmes and bringing a wide range of experience and interests to our projects. UoLW colleagues Huw Morgan-Jones, and Amardeep Sanghera worked with CODE Fellows Jonathan San Diego (KCL) and Ashley Cox (UoL/SOAS) and Linda Amrane-Cooper (UoL) to recruit, short list, match students to projects and support the work. We held a an induction with the Student Fellows on 1 November and students are now working in their project teams.
The students researchers are working closely with the CODE Project teams and have an allocation of between 15 to 30 funded hours for their work on the projects. CODE Projects vary in nature, but all students will gain valuable, transferrable skills such as literature reviews, evaluation, data collection, participant selection, interviewing and focus group work. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to outputs from the projects and several will join our Research in Distance Education conference in March 2023.
We are undertaking a detailed evaluation of impact and outcomes from this work.
