9. Student Representation and Feedback

9.1 Student Representation

Students will be able to nominate a representative to sit on the Joint Supervisory Committee (JSC) which oversees the course. Volunteers will be sought at the Induction Session and an election held if necessary (ie. if there is more than one volunteer). The student representative will be able to raise matters with the JSC on behalf of the cohort.

9.2 Consultative Committee for Graduates

Graduate students’ views are fed into the departmental structure via the Consultative Committee for Graduates. Information is available on the Consultative Committee for Graduates webpage. CCG papers and minutes from previous meetings are also available.

9.3 Opportunities to Provide Feedback

Students will be asked to complete questionnaires evaluating the teaching received for each unit. Please take time to complete these as your feedback is valuable for future course planning.

Students on full-time and part-time matriculated courses are surveyed once per year on all aspects of their course (learning, living, pastoral support, college) through the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey. Previous results can be viewed by students, staff and the general public at: https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/life/student-surveys.

Students will also be asked to complete an end of year questionnaire for the course and are able to provide feedback on all aspects of the MSc.
