International programmes

Hello and Welcome to this new page dedicated to students of the University of London International Programmes.

My name is Nizam Uddin, ULU President 2009/10 and current International Programmes Liaison Manager for the University of London Union (ULU). During my tenure as President last year, ULU worked on a campaign to bridge the relational gap with the University of London International Programmes, with the long- term view of advocating and even representing the views of students like you to ensure you had the best possible student experience. This campaign was very successful, which has led to this pilot agreement between ULU and the International Programmes, to see how best we can reflect and represent student views.

This is a post that has been created for an interim period, commissioning ULU to take the lead on authoring an independent student written submission (SWS) for the impending QAA audit and organizing relevant students to meet with the audit team on their visits (in April & May).

 

What we have accomplished: The Student Written Submission Approximately every 5 years or so in the UK, an independent body called the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) audits UK Universities to see how well they are managing their standards of degrees, as well as the provision of learning opportunities available to students among other things. As part of this process, the Students’ Union is invited to submit a report outlining the experiences of their student body, highlighting areas that work well as well as areas that might not work so well. This is called the Student Written Submission (SWS). ULU wishes to thank everybody who provided feedback and participated in this very important process. We are happy to publish the final document for all students to view. In the limited time we have had, we hope we have represented the very diverse International Programmes student body as true to reality as possible. We would love to hear your thoughts about the SWS and the process in general, so please feel free to email me on [email protected] . * View and download the Student Written Submission.

 

What we are currently working on: Student Meetings with the QAA Auditors

We are currently at the stage where the QAA Audit team will be visiting the institution and meeting both staff and students. Whilst this is currently restricted to those who students who reside in the UK due to financial implications, there are opportunities for students to get further involved via alternative means. If you are interested in getting involved, please do contact me via email.

ULU is also currently having discussions about the future of student representation within the International Programmes. The student voice has improved significantly over the last 5 years, and we want to ensure this continues to be the case in a sustainable and effective manner.
