Equal opportunities and the student voice
All staff in the School work to create a supportive and positive atmosphere in which learning and discussion can take place cooperatively. You are asked to respect the views of others, to make no remarks of a racist, sexist, homophobic or personal nature that offend, threaten, harass or insult another person on the course or a member of staff.
If you are subjected to any form of harassment, you should discuss this with either a member of staff, or Student Welfare, who will assist in preventing further difficulties. There are identified members of the University staff who are responsible for addressing issues of harassment; again you can access these people through departmental staff or Student Welfare.
If anyone wishes to make a complaint about any breach of our equal opportunities commitment, please contact the Head of School.
WAYS OF BEING HEARD
All modules are evaluated by students. Your views are important to us and help to plan more effective teaching and learning. Every subject has a student committee that meets regularly.
Student Academic Representatives (Stars)
The student’s union provides additional support and training for student representatives. Please consider becoming a representative – it is not onerous.
Student ambassadors
If you have appreciated help from student ambassadors at open days or during induction week, perhaps you’d like to become an ambassador yourself; it can be very rewarding, and you get paid too (currently £7.77 per hour).
If you’re interested in becoming an ambassador, please take a look at the handout posted below.

Evaluation of Introductory Week
We'd value your feedback on the introductory programme provided by the School of Science, Society and Management. We'd like to know what went well but also if there are areas for improvement.
Please use the following link to complete an short online survey. Your responses will be anonymous and collated with those of others to provide us with an overall picture of how Introductory Week was for new students like yourself.
Thank you.
