‘THE STUDENT VOICE’The impact of the student voice is significant upon improving the experience for students. For example due to student feedback improvements have been made to the student representative training and opportunities for social activities including a Christmas Ball for the first time in 2014 and the introduction of HE Student Conference in 2015. Plans are, largely due to the student voice, underway to provide a dedicated centre for HE students so they can study and learn together as a community.
Surveys As a HE student you will be asked by the College, University and external organisations responsible for quality in HE nationally, about your experiences. This is a key part of being a HE student as you have the opportunity to work in partnership with the College and University by giving feedback regularly. By doing so you can help improve the experience for yourself and others in the future.
We will ask you to complete relevant surveys including The National Student Survey (NSS), Bridgwater College’s HE Student Survey and those from the university to which you are affiliated (if applicable). All of the Staff here take feedback in to consideration, you can talk to your tutor by email or in meetings together but if you want to say something confidential you can also email [email protected] where all emails are treated with the up most confidentiality.
