Students and Change Agents – Shadowing Scheme

Have you ever wondered how the University is viewed through the eyes of our students?  If so, why not take part in the Shadowing Scheme.

The shadowing scheme is designed to enable both managers and students to gain an insight into each other’s daily working lives – in particular in the context of learning and teaching; to foster understanding and deeper collaboration between professional services staff, academics and students; and potentially to bring about change.

If you are interested in taking part and would like further details please visit the Students as Change website.
