Student Handbook 2024/25

We know that you probably don’t want lots of people to see your data, and only a small group of people will have access to your data. Only two groups of people will have access to your data. The first group is staff whose job it is to support you and your learning. This includes PG Law student support staff and academic staff. Only staff that work directly with you (so not all staff across all parts of the university) have access to see your data. The second group is staff whose job it is to develop and maintain the engagement software. This may include IT staff and staff from external software suppliers. When staff from both of these groups access your data, they must adhere to strict data protection rules. Your data will also be combined with other students’ data to find trends and enable comparison. When your data is used this way, it will not be possible to identify you. 

Your student engagement data will not be shared with any third parties (e.g. prospective employers) or be used as grounds to penalise a students’ module marks or student record. Additionally, your data will never be used for the purpose of the Prevent scheme, and will be processed in accordance with the University’s Data Protection Policy and Student Privacy Notice.
