At pointblank we view students as partners in the education process. Our student reps form a vital part of this role, representing the student body and providing support and guidance while you study at pointblank. They are a great source of information if you have any questions, ideas, worries, or problems with your experience. They also organise social events, fundraise for charities and act as a friendly face around the building.

At pointblank, we view students as partners in their education. In order to involve you in the process of creating a better education, it’s important that we make you aware of the feedback channels that you can use to voice your opinions. Please be assured that all feedback is completely anonymous.

Student Voice Leaders

Student voice leaders are elected by the student body and work to ensure that the views and interests of pointblank students are represented in pointblanks Committees, Boards and decisions. Student voice leaders also act as a gateway between pointblank students and staff by feeding back the outcomes of any meetings or events they attend. Once elected, we post the names and pointblank Email address of the student voice leaders in the Student Information Modules on the VLE.

Programme Voice Group

The Programme Voice Group is a forum for discussion between your student voice leaders and pointblank staff. These happen four times a year, and review everything that has happened from a student and staff perspective, with the aim of identifying how your experience can be improved. Minutes from the Board of Study are kept and made available to everyone via the Student Information Modules of the VLE.

Student Surveys

We aim to minimize the number of institutional surveys that you receive. The infographic below shows which survey you will be invited to depending on your programme and length of study.

How we consider your feedback

The feedback you give through your student reps, through surveys and at Boards of Study meetings plays a vital role in reviewing and improving your programme at pointblank. Your feedback is used to drive improvement at pointblank, and without it we cannot have a holistic picture and accurate judgement of how well our programmes meet your needs.

You Said, We Did 

The student voice is very important to us. Our Students help us shape our courses and the way they are delivered, and defines the services and support we offer. Giving students the best possible experience in all areas of their pointblank life is our top priority.
