Some of you believe more could be done to feel more part of a course and the learning community. To improve this, we will be arranging face-to-face events by course and subject, and have restructured electronic platforms. We believe you’ll experience greater course-specific support, which will invigorate your wider learning experience.

We are strengthening the personal academic tutoring system to improve the support we are giving you throughout your course. Three times a year, personal academic tutorials will be scheduled for you at each level of study.

You highlighted experience of poor scheduling of classes and confusing timetables – we are working with the timetabling team to improve the shape of your timetable. You have a personalised online schedule, with classes arranged to facilitate better student engagement.

We have introduced a new system to make sure assignment briefs are clear and provide sufficient detail so you understand what is expected of you. This includes explicit marking criteria in relation to learning outcomes.
