Using your feedback from previous surveys we have developed the UOW Student Life program to enhance student activities an opportunities to socialise on campus. This includes a significant increase in funding and support to Clubs & Societies. We have expanded our security communications and provided more student accommodation. The University has consulted widely with students about the new Student Services & Amenities Fee and we are working to deliver on key recommendations in 2012 and more into the future.
Visit the UOW Responds website so you can keep track of how we are responding to your valuable feedback.
In addition, we are working together to ensure student satisfaction targets for quality of teaching and graduate qualities.
This year, tell us about your UOW experiences so that we can continue to deliver improvements to you.
