Information for staff
The Student Life and Learning Team provides a range of support to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Driving forward crosscutting innovations, the team aims to enhance the student experience across social, academic and personal contexts. Our Student Life and Learning Developers project manage student-centred events, design and deliver student-facing workshops, offer individual student appointments and create and maintain a collection of wide-ranging online student resources.
Our broad areas of practice and interest are:
- Supporting and enhancing student academic development (academic writing, research skills, referencing, exam performance, managing the dissertation process)
- Supporting and enhancing student personal development (personal organisation, time management, dealing with stress, confidence issues, motivation)
- Managing student transitioning (both pre HE arrival and during Induction/Welcome Week via online media, ‘group-specific’ pre-induction events and the co-ordination of peer mentoring)
- Enhancing the student experience (through the provision of co-curriculum relevant workshops and the organisation of social events underpinning the academic year)
With the arrival of the distinctive curriculum and the emerging Keele Award, we welcome opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from all disciplines and directorates in order to develop and/or embed academic and learning Literacies.
