Share your thoughts and help shape the university experience by joining one of our feedback sessions.

Your education matters

Each term, you're welcome to meet with Kate O’Riordan and Lewis Wilson to speak about your experience as a student and ask questions in an informal setting.

Professor Kate O’Riordan is the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students). She leads on education and the student experience as part of the University Executive Team. Lewis Wilson is the Students’ Union’s Education and Employability Officer.

Some of the things Kate and Lewis would love to hear about include:

  • how you are finding Sussex – whether it is about your studies or activities beyond academic life
  • what is working for you or what you would like to see more of
  • your suggestions to make the student experience at Sussex even better.

There's a wide range of information, advice and guidance available through the Student Centre’s support services too – whether you have a simple query or would like support with a more complex issue.

How your input makes a difference

Do you have ideas to make teaching, learning or the wider student experience at Sussex the best it can be?

As a student, there are many ways in which you can share your views about what matters to you with the University and the Students’ Union. This includes taking part in surveys and speaking to your Student Reps, who represent your academic interests within your School.
