As students, you are co-creators and partners with the University. You have a say in the development and improvement of the quality of your course and experience at PPFI.
You can get involved with all the procedures mentioned below. You are also able to put yourself forward for election to be a student representative for your course.
If you are not a course rep yourself, make sure you know who they are and do let them know if you have any feedback, good or bad.
Your course will be reviewed every 5 years. A panel of internal and external colleagues will comment on the course and confirm it is fit for purpose.
Changes which can be made each year in response to student and staff feedback. For example - changing the number of assessments in a unit, or changing a learning outcome.
Every year the course team will review:
Subject experts from academia or industry who sample all final award work to ensure it's been assessed fairly.
This happens about every 5 years. It involves a panel including external experts who review data and meet with staff and students from a subject area within a College. A report is produced and the actions are set.
Each year we ask students for feedback. Learn more about student surveys.
There is a course committee, formed by staff and students. They take key policy decisions and are accountable to the governing body of PPFI.
Student representatives meet with staff. They discuss the operation of the course and consult on changes and development. Each course cohort typically has 2 student representatives.
They are key members of the Course Committee and can also get involved with other meetings and projects.
