DIUS: Students have delivered their recommendations for ‘improving the student experience’ to the heart of government. Maeve Sherlock, Chair of the National Student Forum (NSF) has presented their recommendations to the new Minister for Students, Lord Tony Young in the first NSF report, which focuses on a number of themes, including:
* Student Finance
* Information Advice & Guidance (IAG)
The Forum felt that given the huge variety in courses & colleges, all students need access to good information & advice to enable them to make the right choices about where and what to study. Visiting an institution can make all the difference to a choice and students should not be deterred from doing so before applying on grounds of cost.
