Your Voice Matters at CCLS and Queen Mary

We value your feedback and ideas for improvement. There are several ways you can share your views and help shape your experience—and that of future students.

One key opportunity is to become a Course Representative, elected by fellow students. Course Reps speak on behalf of the student body at School, Faculty, and University-wide levels through various committees, groups, and meetings.

Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES)

The Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES) is conducted every year. It is facilitated by Advance HE, the national body that champions teaching excellence. The PTES gives you, as a postgraduate taught student, an opportunity to give your opinions on what you like about your time at Queen Mary, as well as those aspects that you feel could be improved. Please do consider completing the survey; your feedback really is invaluable and will help us make a difference for future generations of Queen Mary students.

We strongly encourage you to complete the survey when invited.
