Responding to your feedback

Surveys are used by the University of Leeds to enhance our courses and programmes, and to improve the student experience. Your feedback and suggestions are the driving force behind change at the University.

Student Surveys 

Every year, students at the University of Leeds complete a variety of surveys and reviews. These include National Student Survey (NSS) for final year undergraduates, Programme Survey and Taught Postgraduate Programme Survey, and Postgraduate Researcher Experience Survey. The feedback that you provide in these surveys helps to guide the decisions that the university makes. Many of the initiatives that you see at the University are in response to this feedback. 

Student Representatives 

At Leeds there are several different kinds of student representatives, who gather your feedback and present this to different meetings and committees: 

  • Course Representatives work at programme level to gather feedback and take this to Student Staff Partnership Forum, a student-led meeting where they present feedback to staff and receive responses from them. 

  • School Representatives and Faculty Officers represent the whole of their school or faculty. They work together with Course Representatives to identify common themes in student feedback, and they take this to meetings where they either present this feedback, or use it to help to shape and create university policies. 

  • PGR Representatives do the same job as School Representatives, only for postgraduate research students. 

  • Members of LUU’s Student Exec attend numerous meetings at University level on students’ behalf. They make sure that relevant student feedback is highlighted in these meetings, so that when decisions are made or policies are drafted, these respond to student feedback. 

External Examiner Reports and Responses 

External examiners produce annual reports on the quality and standards of each programme and the fairness of the assessment procedures. Schools review and respond to each report. Reports inform developments related to modules and programmes, as well as the School Action Plan. Please contact the Quality Assurance Team if you wish to view external examiner reports and responses.
