NStEP Newsletter: August 2022

Scroll down to read all the latest news from NStEP - we are recruiting students to our Quality Assurance Reviewers pool, student training 2022/23 is now open for booking, and catch up on our conference keynotes.

Student QA Reviewers pool open for new applicants

The Student QA Reviewer’s Pool is made up of students trained to sit on quality assurance review panels. Reviewers ensure the student perspective is evident throughout quality assurance processes in Ireland, working with others to enhance the learning experience for all. As full members of review panels, the involvement of student reviewers is a crucial and valuable part of the process. Reviewers gain experience and insights into issues of higher education governance, learn new skills, and meet students and staff from across higher education.

Student reviewers are paid for their time on panels and are reimbursed for expenses. Reviewers usually complete one review per semester, which involves two to four days of work for each review.

Deadline for receipt of applications is 12pm, Friday 2nd September 2022.
