The University has achieved significant recognition in the sector as a leader in student engagement and has continued to work closely with the Students’ Union on a range of issues including, but not limited to, the level of fees charged. The Students’ Union President is now a full member of the University Executive Group and therefore participates in debates and decisions on all important issues affecting the University and its students. A number of informal meetings have been held with officers from BCUSU to discuss the principles and content of this Access Agreement. The President of the Students’ Union has also been formally involved in the decision to standardise the fee for all full time first degree programmes at £9,000 through his membership of the Board of Governors and the University Executive Group. More generally, a number of initiatives are under way aimed at enhancement of communication with students. As part of an HEA “Students as Partners” Change Initiative, BCUSU is delivering a Student Voice Project aimed at delivery of a range of outcomes to modernise the whole approach to capture of student views and enhancement of participation in University processes. One of these includes a reconstitution of the former Student Representation Coordination Group into a new Student Voice Group with wider representation and focus on delivery of the outcomes of the project. Students’ Union officers and the Head of Membership Engagement continue to work closely with the Director of Learning Experience and the Centre for Enhancement of Learning and Teaching to optimise the student role in academic development.
