School-level Student Advisory Groups

About School-level Student Advisory Groups

School-level Student Advisory Groups are one of the formal ways we partner with students to create a more inclusive, innovative, and student-focused university. Each Student Advisory Group provides a space within its School where undergraduate and postgraduate students can come together with staff to discuss student insights, ideas, and feedback—helping shape and improve the student experience.

These groups are supported by the Student Voice and Partnerships team, who provide training, guidance, and meeting support for both students and staff.
