Student voice

At Plymouth we value what our students say – you share your feedback; we act upon it
Your voice counts. Medical students listening to a lecture.
We’re committed to working with students as partners – and their feedback is vital to shaping our student experience both now and in the future.
Ideas, comments and requests are collected continually through a variety of channels including surveys, forums and tutorials. We listen to feedback to ensure that we can continue what works and address ideas for change. Take a look at how student feedback has been acted upon here at the University of Plymouth.
