Summary of findings
We estimate that more than 2,500 students have met with IQER review teams since 2006-07. Many students think that one of the main benefits of contributing to IQER is that the process gives them a voice. Others mention actions taken by the college in response to things raised in the student written submission and to students' involvement more generally in IQER.
Other benefits of students' involvement in IQER include:
- it confirms that students' views are valued
- students have an opportunity to have their say
- it gives students an opportunity to develop a sense of ownership of the programmes they are studying.
