A Message for Common Awards (Durham University) students:
Dear Student,
Common Awards Student Survey Working Group
The annual Common Awards Student Survey allows students to provide feedback on their academic experience (on areas including learning and teaching, study support, learning communities and student voice). The Common Awards Student Survey was launched in 2017 and has been running on an annual basis ever since. The survey is designed to provide TEIs and the University with useful comparative data (over 3-year cycles) to make and monitor enhancements to provision.
The next 3-year cycle will commence in 2024. The Common Awards Survey Working Group (which was established to help support the creation of the original survey) has been reconstituted to review the questions, and the administrative processes supporting the survey, in consultation with TEIs and students over the coming weeks and months.
The first meeting of the Working Group took place on 21st April 2023, and in this initial stage members agreed to invite feedback from TEIs and students on the topics included in the survey in advance of the next meeting.
Student Focus Group Invitation
You are invited to express your interest in taking part in a focus group to provide initial feedback on your experience of completing surveys in general, followed by discussion of the Common Awards Student Survey in particular. The focus group will be arranged for late June; further information will follow once expressions of interest have been received. If you are interested in taking part please complete the online form available at the bottom of the Common Awards web page.
Please do not hesitate to contact the team if you need any further information.
With kind regards,
Emma
