This event is only open to students who study in the School of Education. 

Nottingham Trent University is currently undertaking some foundation work to influence the development of a new strategic plan. An element of the work is to determine what current and future students regard as an ideal experience of higher education. Nottingham Trent Students’ Union is keen to play an active role in influencing the university’s strategic thinking and to represent the views of its current and future members as part of this process.

This focus group will tackle the following key questions that will be feedback to the University:

• How do students learn and is this being catered for?
• What do students think a university is?
• What do students expect to be when they leave?
• What should the relationship be between the university and the outside world?
• What scale should the university operate at: local, regional, national or international?
• How should the university feel?
• What is the future of lectures and are there alternatives?
• What will assessment look like in future?
• What should the values of the university be and how should these be conveyed?
• What is the role of internationalisation and partnerships?
• What is the role of other students in the learning experience?
• What should the ideal campus have?
