Student voice

At Plymouth we value what our students say – your views matter
Your voice counts. Medical students listening to a lecture.
Students are the lifeblood our University, and we care about every aspect of your time with us.
To help us continue what works, and address ideas for change, we’re committed to working with students as partners . From surveys and tutorials to your Students’ Union and forums and tutorials, we have a variety of mechanisms to gather student views and respond to them.
Your feedback will shape our student experience both now and in the future – see more below on the difference it makes.
