Student Reviewers

Student Reviewer Induction

 

To prepare you to become a Student Reviewer, OQSP, in conjunction with the Students’ Union, will provide an awareness of quality issues that will help you to prepare for any events you will be involved with. This takes the form of a short induction giving you some background theory, followed by a short test. The test is not formal and required to be passed, just a check of your understanding.

The induction session is then followed up by a meeting with one of the Quality, Standards and Partnership Officers to specifically discuss the event(s) that you will be involved in. These sessions will introduce you to the University’s quality assurance processes and the wider national agenda.

As well as a focus on the University’s processes themselves, the Student Reviewer opportunity also helps you to focus on, and develop, broader business skills, such as teamwork, questioning styles, planning, verbal communication and information processing, all of which will be beneficial during your studies and future professional careers.
