The School takes very seriously the representation of students’
views. Hearing from students help us respond to your needs and improve the
student experience, we use a variety of ways to achieve this:
Staff and Student Liaison Committee
Module evaluation - this takes place for all modules
Course representatives
Personal feedback to tutors
Student Ambassadors (for open days, etc)
Regular meeting with groups of students about particular issues, dates of these meetings are circulated in advance
All
final-year undergraduate students at UK institutions take part in the National
Student Survey (NSS). The NSS is a nationally recognised annual survey of
mostly final-year undergraduates in the UK. The survey gives you an opportunity
to give your opinions on what you liked about your time at Queen Mary as well
as things that you feel could have been improved.
If you
are a finalist, you will usually be contacted by email early in the spring
term. Please do complete the NSS, and fill it in honestly.
The NSS results are made publicly available to
help prospective students make informed decisions of where and what to study. Queen
Mary and the Students’ Union will also use the data to identify areas of
strengths and weaknesses to help effect change and bring about enhancements to
improve the student experience for future generations of students. Data from
previous surveys are available on Unistats. http://my.qmul.ac.uk/your-voice/feedback/national-student-survey/
UK
Engagement Survey (UKES)
The UK
Engagement Survey (UKES) is a national survey which gives you the opportunity
to tell us about your learning experience at Queen Mary. It is open to all
undergraduate students who are not eligible to complete the National Student
Survey.
The
UKES is facilitated by Advance HE, the national body that champions teaching
excellence. The survey asks you about things like how you engage with the
learning on your course, how you work with others, and what kind of activities
help you to learn. It is a chance to reflect on how you study and what might
help your studies in the future. http://my.qmul.ac.uk/your-voice/feedback/ukes/
