Student engagement and partnership working

Student engagement and partnership working is central to everything we do at Glasgow Caledonian. We know that we must listen to you, our students. You are the expert in your own learning journey. We believe that engaging with you and working in partnership across the university is critical to ensuring the delivery of an outstanding learning and overall student experience. Our partnership agreement GCU community: Working together in partnership was developed by staff and students and sets out our commitment to do just that.

What is student engagement?

Engaging in an activity means that you are actively involved with it. Student engagement fundamentally means engaging students in their own learning. We understand that in order to do this successfully you need to be involved in shaping your learning, teaching, and wider student experience.

How will we do this?

We will provide a wide range of opportunities and methods for you to engage with the University and influence your learning experience. This could be within your own academic programme or you might like to get involved with wider University initiatives and activities.

To ensure that student engagement is accessible to all students we encourage participation in a broad range of ways. You can get involved in relatively quick activities, such as completing student module surveys or providing feedback to your class representative, or you can have more in-depth involvement, such as undertaking a student representative role or engaging in academic quality processes.

All levels of student engagement are valuable and contribute to the individual and collective student voice being heard.
