What Is It All About?

What it Means

Student voice is about you having a say in your education and shaping your experience at university. It’s not just about sharing feedback; it’s about making change happen, together.

Why it Matters

Your views help improve courses, services and the wider student experience. When students share what’s working and what needs to change, it helps the university take action that genuinely reflects what students need.

How it Happens

Through reps on your course and in your school
In surveys like NSS, module evaluations and SU polls
Through focus groups, forums and Student Council
By getting involved in campaigns and giving direct feedback to your SU

What Happens to Your Feedback?

Your reps and SU officers work with staff to raise issues and find solutions. Staff and the SU use feedback to improve teaching, services and facilities. It’s important to close the loop – so if you give feedback, ask what’s happening next.

Why get involved

Shape decisions that affect you

Getting involved in Student Voice means you help set priorities and co-create solutions with staff. It’s a practical way to improve timetables, teaching and the services you use, while building confidence and connections across the University.

Use quick feedback tools

Short surveys and quick forms help us spot what’s working and what isn’t, fast. Your comments are logged, tracked and shared with the right teams so action can be taken and reported back to you.

Join Student Council

Council members represent students, debate proposals and agree mandates for the Union. It’s a serious leadership opportunity, developing policy skills and a track record you can talk about in applications and interviews.

Take part in Speak Week

During Speak Week we capture thousands of comments across campuses to identify the big picture priorities. Your voice helps set the agenda for the months ahead, with visible updates on what changes as a result.
