Student Engagement

Student engagement is referred to within the Quality Statement.

One of the University’s key strategic aims is to ensure an exceptional student experience and this is achieved through working in partnership with students. 

There is increasing student engagement in a more structured and strategic way, for example, through the StARs (Student Academic Representatives), Education Student Liaison Committees, Research Student Liaison Committees and to other aspects of the University co-curricular offer, for example, as peer mentors and ambassadors.

We are proud of our close links with the Students’ Union (KeeleSU) and Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) and we see student representation as a vital means of ensuring effective communication between students and staff.

Please visit the Students' Union web pages for more information on the StARs system.

Issues raised at student experience meetings are followed up in a variety of ways, some by regular reporting into the Student Education Liaison Committee Meetings and through the University Learning and Teaching Committee, some by more formal action plans and much of the feedback has influenced the development of University wide strategies such as the Learning and Teaching Strategy, the Sports Strategy, the Information Systems Strategy and the Accommodation Strategy.
