15. Student feedback and representation

You will be asked to complete questionnaires evaluating the teaching received for each course, and at the end of the year to complete a questionnaire evaluating the course as a whole. You are encouraged to take the time to complete these, as the feedback will be used to inform future course planning.

One student on the MSc will be nominated to become student representative; they will sit on the MSc Supervisory Committee panel and act as a voice for their cohort.

Students on the MSc are also invited to serve on the Departmental Consultative Committee with Graduates. For further details about this, and about who the student representatives are, please contact graduate.studies@maths.ox.ac.uk.

15.1 Opportunities to Provide Feedback

Students on full-time and part-time matriculated courses are surveyed once per year on all aspects of the 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:

15.2 Divisional and University Representatives

The MPLS Division also runs a divisional Undergraduate Joint Consultative Forum, a divisional Graduate Joint Consultative Forum, and is establishing a Joint Consultative Forum for Graduate Taught Courses. Each Forum is chaired by the senior MPLS Academic who is responsible for that area across the Division, an undergraduate or graduate representative from each department, the undergraduate or graduate representative on the Academic Committee and Divisional Board, and the Oxford Student Union (Oxford SU) Vice-President (Access and Academic Affairs) or Vice-President (Graduates).

Student representative sitting on the MPLS Divisional Board are selected through a process organised by Oxford SU. Details can be found on the Oxford SU website along with information about student representation at the University level.
