Amplifying Student Voices: Roehampton's Speak Week 2024 

Roehampton Students' Union is gearing up for Speak Week, set to take place from November 11th to 15th, 2024. This annual campaign is your golden ticket to shape the future of your university experience! 

Your University. Your Money. Your Experience.

Speak Week is all about you – the students.  

It's your chance to: 

  • Express your thoughts on university life 

  • Suggest improvements you would like to see at the university  

  • Highlight what's working well with your university experience  

This initiative empowers students to express their concerns and suggestions, ensuring that your voice is heard on the issues that are significant to you! This year, however, we're taking it up a notch with our new digital feedback system, Digital Rep. This tool is quick and easy to use, and it is designed to capture your ideas, praises or concerns efficiently. 


 What's New in 2024? 

Enhanced Digital Experience: We're revolutionising how you share feedback. Our new Digital Rep system is used to collect your feedback on the areas that matter most to you about your academic experiences here at Roehampton, with your comments going straight to your Subject Area Reps and School Reps to use when working with schools on your behalf. 

Transparent Decision-Making: Your input will directly influence our decisions, and we're committed to making this process visible to all. 

Data-Driven Change: We're using cutting-edge data analysis to identify trends and make informed decisions based on your feedback. 

Your Feedback, Real Impact.

 Here's how your voice makes a difference:
