The Student Experience has been a hot topic, which has rocketed up the education agenda over the last few years. From the strides forward in the learner voice in FE, through to close scrutiny of the student experience in HE with the NSS being an important catalyst for this.
 
Over the last 18 months, NUS has produced the ground breaking research into the Student Experience which has been funded by HSBC. Our research looks extensively at a range of aspects which together go a long way to defining the experience of students in HE. Sections of our report in 09/10 already published are on Hidden Course Costs, Choosing a University or Course and Teaching Learning. There are upcoming chapters on Student Debt and Internationalisation & Relgion still to come this year.
 
I was recently invited to take part in a podcast to give my analysis on the Student Experience Research, and also discuss the recently published BIS 'Higher Ambitions' Framework.
