More Information:
Student feedback is incredibly important, which is why the University (UoP) and the Students’ Union (UPSU) want to give students an opportunity to ask questions and provide their views on their student experience.
We will be hosting 6 Student Q&A sessions this year - in-person and online - so you can ask questions of leaders at the University and Students’ Union.
What topics can I ask questions about?
These are open forums - you can ask anything you want about any aspect of University life and your student experience. We will suggest topics based on received student feedback - but the choice is yours.
As well as asking live questions in the room or online, you can also submit a question before the event anonymously (or add your email address if you want a written reply) here.
