Course representatives
If students are experiencing problems with the course, have suggestions for improvements or wish to highlight great practice, they can bring this to the Staff:Student Liaison Committee via their Course Representatives. The course representatives also have regular meetings with their Year Lead and Senior Tutor, ensuring the academic and pastoral needs of their cohort are communicated to key staff directly from the students.
Buddy families
All of our students are assigned to a buddy family, comprising students from different years of the course. A family can be a social network, a source of advice, a shoulder to cry on, and each member of the family supports the others in different ways. This relationship benefits all parties as more experienced students gain in confidence by helping those in earlier years, and students in earlier years benefit from the experiences of their predecessors.
