Have Your Say

The University places great value on the opinions of its students and there are opportunities for you to get involved to have your say and also to represent the views of other students.

At the end of each semester you will be asked to complete a survey about each of your modules and it is your opportunity to provide feedback to the teaching staff.

Staff-Student Committee

This committee brings together student representatives and relevant Aerospace academic staff. Getting involved will enable you to join in discussions and decision making ranging across such topics as:

• student feedback on the quality of teaching

• inputs to the planning of curriculum changes

• departmental services (e.g. hand-in arrangements, office opening times, study facilities, availability of personal tutors)

• improving channels of communication with students

The Committee meets in weeks 4 and 8 of each semester and is able to act to resolve minor issues, or report significant issues arising from its discussions to the Aerospace Engineering Board of Studies or the Faculty of Engineering Student Forum, as appropriate.

At the beginning of the academic year, students are asked to volunteer for the role of course representative. Eight representatives are selected to serve on the Committee: two from each year.

Faculty of Engineering Student Forum

The Faculty Student Forum meets two or three times a year and is an opportunity for Faculty staff and students to discuss faculty-wide issues in a fairly informal way.

Included in the membership are one undergraduate student from each departments' Staff-Student Committee in the Faculty.  With this structure in place, issues raised at departmental level are then fed up to Faculty level.
