USING DATA TO ENHANCE YOUR PROGRAMME
Programme level data is a part of the information that contributes to your continues improvement planning.
Unit feedback provides the opportunity for timely discussions with your students about their learning experiences.
National Student Survey (NSS) Data
The NSS forms an important part of the data collected by programmes to inform their course improvement plans. This section of the website looks at interpreting the data and considering appropriate actions, including sharing good practice identified by students from their responses.
Information from unit evaluation will be used to inform enhancement of modules and courses, and will also feed into institutional evaluations and reviews.

Supporting Students with Specific Learning Differences
Any student who identifies as having a specific learning difference can access support delivered by the SpLD tutors.
Inclusive Learning Communities Project
The Inclusive Learning Communities (ILC) project aims to address this disparity through our collaborative work with both staff and students to increase our BAME students’ sense of belonging to the University and to change the way they are included in our teaching practices.
Peer Assisted Learning Scheme (PAL)
PAL is group learning where students reflect on course content and share knowledge and skills with each other through activities run by a PAL leader. This creates both an academic support network with new students and a learning community for your students.
