Desperately seeking students: MPs launch web forum asking for students' views about university

The Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee has launched a web forum asking students about their university experiences. The Committee wants to hear what undergraduate students at universities in England think about the university admissions process and whether courses, teaching and university life has lived up to expectations. Submissions to the forum will feed into the Committee’s inquiry 'Students and Universities' and will contribute to the final report which will make recommendations to the Government. The forum runs until 7 April 2009 and asks six questions: 1. Why did you decide to apply to university? 2. What factors influenced your choice of university and course? 3. Do you think that the admissions process for universities is fair? 4. Has university lived up to your expectations? 5. What do you think of the quality of teaching at university? 6. Are all degrees the same? Please click on the link below to access the forum.
