Students are invited to meet with Professor Kate O'Riordan, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students), and Lewis Wilson, the Students’ Union’s Education and Employability Officer. This is a chance for Kate and Lewis to hear about what you are enjoying at Sussex, as well as your ideas to make students’ experiences even better. 

Autumn term open office sessions will take place in the Student Centre on the following dates: 

Wednesday 30 October*

2.15pm to 3.45pm, Landscape room 1

In the October session, we would love to hear about how you are settling into teaching and learning this term. 

If you are a first-year student, we are interested in your thoughts on induction and Welcome Week, and how you are finding your new course and university life in general. If you are in a later year of study, we would love to hear about your experience with us so far, and how your course and life beyond your studies compare to previous years.

*This event was previously scheduled for Wednesday 23 October.

Thursday 28 November

2.15pm to 3.45pm, Student Centre atrium

In the November session, we would be particularly interested to hear your thoughts on how you are being taught and assessed, whether you are new to university-level study or have experience across different modules already.

How your input makes a difference

Do you have ideas to make teaching, learning or the wider student experience at Sussex the best it can be? As a student, there are many ways in which you can share your views about what matters to you with the University and the Students’ Union, including taking part in surveys and speaking to your Student Reps, who represent your academic interests within your School. Find out about some of the positive changes that students’ contributions made possible.
