Student engagement

Student representation is a key part of how we engage with students, and students are part of our institutional decision making processes.

Student representatives sit on all institutional-level committees and many key bodies in academic units.

Within academic units a key body for students input into decision making is the Student-Staff Committee. 

More information about Student-Staff Committees, their terms of reference, business and how to effectively engage and support them is available on the Student Voice webpages.
