àËÅöÊÓƵ

If you are a current student, you can apply to join the Student Voice Group (SVG) as a student voice champion. 

The SVG comments and provides a student perspective on projects and ideas the University is developing. 

While not a representative body of students, it possesses an important advisory function to the University.

In the last two years, the SVG has given the University valuable input on a number of important matters including:

• The communication of changes to assessment arrangements in summer 2020 in response to COVID-19, and gave the University extensive feedback on the use of online assessment.
• Suggested improvements to the question set used on a survey of students to evaluate the use of online assessment in summer 2020, in a project led by the Centre for Distance Education.
• The various stages of development of two online employability modules, the second of which is due for release to students in 2021.
• Contributed ideas to the research design of the Learning Hours and Learning Strategies Centre for Distance Education project.
• Brainstorming on the future brand positioning for the àËÅöÊÓƵ.
• The development of the peer-to-peer wellbeing and mental health support app Talk Campus.
• The development of online student societies.
• The recently relaunched alumni ambassador programme.
• Features of future programme models.
• SVG members have also been active contributors to the Official Student Blog and have participated in the àËÅöÊÓƵ’s Athena Swan working group.
