Your voice in action
Changes made in 2025 with help from student feedback
Support for your learning
- As part of the University Academic Advising system, new guidelines and resources for staff mean more points of contact to better support your progress and future.
- Teams that support your learning and future employability are now based in more central locations, to make it easier to find support and contact teams when you need advice.
The organisation of your course
- We have released timetables earlier this year to help you plan ahead.
- We now run fewer modules in each term which means more time to explore topics in depth, and less bunching of deadlines.
Assessment and feedback
- We now have final assessments each term when module content is fresh in your mind.
- Module marks are now available after each term to help you see your progress and allow more time to act on feedback.
Student Voice Forums
Student Voice Forums give students on each programme the chance to share feedback, raise concerns, and suggest improvements to their learning experience.
Led by trained Student Representatives and supported by academic staff, the forums strengthen communication between students and staff and help improve academic life.
Meetings usually take place between weeks 4 and 8, with discussions recorded by the Student Experience Team.
Feedback and outcomes are shared with the University to help shape policies and enhance the student experience.
A 'Kent Chat' Event: Leaders Unscripted
In June 2026, we hosted a successful Kent Chat event, bringing together students and senior leaders for open conversations about the student experience, with around 200 students in attendance.
Key feedback themes included creating more opportunities to connect during transitions, strengthening international student communities, improving direct access to senior leaders, and developing E-Sports. We are now using this feedback to shape future improvements and will continue creating more opportunities for students in the future.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event! To get involved and find out more, email StudentExperience@Kent.ac.uk.
