This Forum includes elected student representatives of each undergraduate degree scheme and each year of study, postgraduate students and members of staff. The group meets regularly to discuss new developments and any problems. This is one important way in which you can participate in School matters and the Forum provides a valuable source of feedback and policy advice.

The Forum has the following key functions:

  • To deal with informal general student complaints and difficulties
  • To provide feedback to the School on the teaching and learning environment
  • To comment on academic policies and practices
  • To advise the School on student matters
  • To provide student representation on the various School Boards
  • To organise social and other extra-curricular activities

Martina Feilzer is currently chair.
