Student Experience Projects Team and Communications and Engagement Team

The Student Experience Projects Team (SEPT) aims to continuously improve the student experience, enabling our students to make the most out of their time at the University. We deliver regular activity as well as undertaking commissioned projects - some examples are listed below. Our work involves liaison and collaboration with other corporate services, academic schools and the Guild of Students.
