Staff handbook > Student Representation

Student feedback on all aspects of their experience while studying with Bath Spa University is very important to us.   As well as opportunities to evaluate their modules and to feedback their views to the institution in which they are studying, there are also opportunities for student representatives to take part in the following:

Student Representatives Committee

The university has established a new Student Representatives Committee, which is a subcommittee of the Academic Quality and Standards Committee (AQSC).  A student academic representative from each partner organisation within the Wessex Partnership will be invited to participate.  Meetings will normally take place three times a year at Newton Park Campus or Sion Hill Campus. 

Duties of the subcommittee include:

• Advising AQSC on the implications for students of the outcomes from university quality assurance procedures, including external examiner reports;
• Advising AQSC on the outcomes of the National Student Survey, and any other similar measure of student satisfaction;
• Advising on any other matter that may be referred to the committee by AQSC.

Benefits of Representation

Students are strongly encouraged to put themselves forward for this opportunity:

• They will get to know BSU ‘home’ students as well as those from other partner institutions, and learn about their experience
• They can make a difference to the experience of fellow BSU students at your institution;
• They will gain skills in committee participation which will also strengthen their CV;
• and last , but not least, they will be paid £100 + travelling expenses for each meeting attended.
