Your Student Voice: Find it, Use it, Contribute!
Faculty Forum – make your voice heard!
Join the next Faculty Forum (26 February, 1-3pm) and let us know what you think about what really matters in the university. We’ll be discussing Assessment and Feedback, especially how to ensure the usefulness of feedback. Pizza will be provided and there will be a prize draw at the end! Get your free ticket here.
Have you ever wondered how your unique perspective could shape the future of our learning environment and student experience? In the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE), we believe that every student voice has the power to create meaningful change and shape the future of our University.
Student voice is invaluable to our Teaching, Learning and Student Experience community and when you share your thoughts and ideas, you help shape our learning environment and make the student experience better for everyone.
We encourage you to join in, speak up, ask questions and provide feedback, as your input is crucial in creating a space where everyone feels valued and engaged.
Faculty Forum – make you voice heard!
Faculty Forum takes place once in each semester. It provides a platform for students to voice their opinions and suggestions about hot topics in the faculty.
You can find reports from previous Faculty Forum’s across all faculties on the Student Union website: University of Manchester Students’ Union
Student Voice Committees
The Student Voice Committees (formerly SSLCS) provide a structured channel for students to share feedback with University staff, allowing staff to respond and assign actions to ensure feedback is acted on.
For the School of Engineering, Student Voice Committee information can currently be found on Blackboard and accessed here:
Student Networks
Black Heritage Student Network
In April 2023 FSE staff conducted a focus group with Black Heritage students to understand their experiences at Manchester. One of the key initiatives to come from the group was the creation of a student-led network in FSE for Black heritage students. The network will provide regular opportunities for networking and socialising to increase belonging, aid transition into the university and facilitate progression. Two student partners have been appointed for 2024-25 and we hope the network will continue to grow and develop during the coming year.

Neurodivergent Student Network (coming soon)
We have recently appointed two student partners to establish a Neurodivergent Student Network. We hope to have more information to share on their thoughts and plans for 2024-25 soon.
If you have any ideas for thoughts for this network please contact us by email: fseteachingcollege@manchester.ac.uk
