You talked, we listened
As part of the University’s commitment to continuous improvement, its Office of Planning and Development and Quality Assurance Unit invited postgraduate students across the region to take an online student experience survey offering them the opportunity to share their views on the UWI experience. Student responses to the survey afforded the University invaluable feedback in the areas of Programme Support; Programme Supervision; Teaching; Research Opportunities; Personal Skills Development; University Support Services and Overall Satisfaction all of which will inform reform in the specific areas as part of its strategic transformation process. “Students are best positioned to give feedback on the University experience. I think that the information gathered from surveys like this should inform policy and I hope it results in improvements across the faculties,” said Gomez. “Our current strategic plan, which is now 17 months to completion, identifies graduate studies and research as a core strategic aim in creating the true learning community that we envision for UWI. The kind of institution that we are aiming to become is one that attracts first-rate students and one that is consistently putting the needs of our students first. They are our biggest testimony so the University is committed to improving their experience; this in itself will make our students effective ambassadors,” said Dr Tewarie.
