The University of Leicester is undertaking a review of the services provided to students to help them with their careers and their learning skills.

I, Alex Nutt (Students’ Union Academic Affairs Officer) am co-chairing the review with Christine Fyfe (Pro-Vice Chancellor, Students).

The University wants to get as much feedback from students as possible about how you use these services and how you think they could be enhanced to meet your needs better.

The survey will take a maximum of 15 minutes to complete and must be completed in one sitting.

All answers are entirely anonymous and confidential.

Please take…

I Love My Academic is a brand new award scheme run by the Students’ Union, to recognise the importance of good teaching at the University of Leicester.
