Encouraging more effective student engagement


‘Students co-produce knowledge, work in partnership with staff and each other to enhance their learning environment and develop their communities, and through their associated representative bodies, actively contribute to the

leadership and governance of their institutions’

The vision for The Student engagement partnership

Importance of working in partnership


‘In order for universities to foster more inclusive learning environments, we believe that students must be empowered as active and participatory agents, not as mere consumers, so that they can articulate their own conceptions of

what makes good learning environments, and work in partnership with academics and administrators to realise these conceptions.’

The 2014 NUS Report, Radical interventions in teaching and learning
