Student Panel Advisers bring the student perspective to the University Curriculum and Assessment Check-in 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 Check-in 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 Curriculum and Assessment Check-in process.
The role
More information on the role – including a full list of the responsibilities and expectations of Student Panel Advisers – is included in the Guidance for Applicants document available to download below, but the main things you will be expected to do are to:
- Attend an initial briefing with staff from the University’s Quality and Standards Office to learn more about the role, the Curriculum and Assessment Check-in process, and ask any questions you might have.
- Once allocated to a Curriculum and Assessment Check-in panel – read the documents and note any questions, concerns, or points you'd like to raise. Attend the panel meeting and actively contribute to the discussions with students and the other panel members.
