The student surveys are an opportunity for the Colleges and Schools to learn more about what students think.

Much of the feedback from students in the College of Science and Engineering is positive.

But the Schools have also responded to concerns: these documents have the details of the actions taken in each School.

School of Engineering

School of Engineering has introduced enhancements for student-staff communication and feedback including a weekly 'surgery' for each course lecturer and a minimum of one instance of formative feedback for each course in each semester.

School of Geosciences

The School is building a stronger academic community through group Personal Tutor meetings where you are able to meet with students across the degree, other events outside lecturers and a first-year field trip for Earth Sciences students.
