Student Panel Advisers bring the student perspective to the University re-validation process. Being a Student Panel Adviser will provide you with a unique opportunity to be directly involved in the enhancement of courses at Westminster.
By representing the student voice in the re-validation process, you will be playing a part in making sure the academic experience of the student body is continually improving, as well as developing your own employability skills.
Student Panel Advisers will receive a standard fee in recognition of their contribution to the re-validation process.
The role
As a Student Panel Adviser you are expected to:
- Attend a briefing session
- Read course documents in advance of the event and identify any particular questions, issues or concerns that you wish to raise at the final meeting
- Attend the final meeting and actively contribute to the discussions at the event

Please note: In order to ensure compliance with the right to work regulations, all University of Westminster students are limited to a maximum of 20 hours per week employment (this includes volunteering) by the University. If you are an overseas student studying in the UK on a Tier 4 visa you will need to take particular care to comply with the maximum number of hours you are permitted to work. Normally this is 20 hours per week during term time. If you have multiple employments, please ensure that the combined total of hours worked in any given week do not exceed the limit stated on your Tier 4 BRP card.
