Briefing Note for Students

Periodic Review takes place every 5 years and reviews the quality of courses and the student experience on these course(s).

 It offers you an important opportunity to: 

• Influence the future design and delivery of courses in your Department
• Inform the University about problems with the academic experience you and your peers are having as well as what is done well or you have really enjoyed or benefited from within the Department
• Assist the University to assess the quality of the student experience on the course(s)

You and a group of your peers will meet a small group of academics (the ‘Panel’) who are reviewing and evaluating the Departments Undergraduate or Postgraduate courses. They are interested both in your experiences and in what you can tell them about the experiences of the larger student community. There will be an opportunity for you to tell the Panel anything you feel they should know and to contribute to discussions arising from any questions the Panel has for the group. The meeting will be at most one hour and will be quite informal.
