The role of Student Reviewer at UCC
Within the Irish university sector, the participation of students as full Panel Members on Quality Peer Review Panels is unique to UCC. The role of Student Reviewer was first introduced within the internal quality review process of UCC in 2014 and to this day, provides a vital contribution to realising UCC’s mission of delivering “an outstanding student-centred teaching and learning experience with a renewed, responsive and research-led curriculum at its core” (UCC Strategic Plan 2017 – 2022, Goal 1).
The student voice and perspective are crucial to the ongoing quality enhancement of UCC professional practices in education, research and support activities and services. To find out more, click here; The role of Student Reviewer at UCC
