Student experience
Peer-led support in a diverse student body Middlesex has invested further in wellbeing support. Working closely with the Students’ Union (MDXSU), the University is taking a proactive approach to developing peer-led initiatives that help students cope with stress, get healthy and develop resilience. This partnership with MDXSU is central to all work in the Student Experience arena, and was the driving force behind the free campus bicycle hire scheme ‘Freewheelers’, launched in January 2017.
Middlesex was nominated for a Times Higher Education award for its eBook scheme, which saves students money and develops their digital skills by offering a free eBook for every module they study. This is the largest and most comprehensive project of its kind in the sector.
In March the University hosted a Student Success Festival, an interactive fair designed to encourage students to achieve their best and overcome stress through workshops, events and competitions.
There was a fall in the latest National Student Survey, which was in line with an overall sector drop following the introduction of new questions set in the survey.
Student satisfaction with the University’s learning resources was high following significant investment in this priority area. Other areas will now be the focus for further improvements based on feedback from the survey, including learning from our best results which saw overall satisfaction scores of 90% and above for a range of departments.
Realising students’ full potential
A new Academic Advice scheme will be introduced in the coming year. It will ensure all students in their first year of study are assigned an academic advisor, and it will use learning analytics and student engagement data to ensure students across all years are supported to achieve their best.
Sunny Hill House Gardens, part of an ongoing investment into students’ learning environment, opened in September 2017 as part of the University’s Wellbeing Fair. It will provide a quiet relaxing spot for students to seek advice and wellbeing support.
