Information
for students

The students are, unarguably, the most important stakeholders of Higher Education systems and therefore that of quality assurance mechanisms. Your interest and participation at all levels of quality assurance play a central role in enhancement of your own learning experience. IBU aims to ensure that students have voice at all stages of the decision making process of formulating learning and teaching practices, and that views of students are to be considered as the primary evidence on which the quality of teaching and learning is evaluated.

We encourage you to play your part in making these activities meaningful in identifying actions to improve your knowledge. Please do take the opportunity to submit questionnaires and provide feedback. We need to learn from you if something is wrong. Equally, we are delighted to hear about features of study at the University that are particularly good!

Rich diversity of student involvement with quality assurance provides us with an abundant resource from which we can research and share good practice and so help all involved to learn and to develop. Active student participation in the quality assurance process can be undertaken in a variety of ways: through participation in Senate, Faculty Councils, Student Parliament and Quality Board. You can get yourself involved or communicate your vision in the highest university bodies through student representatives.

It is your responsibility to get introduced with IBU’s Self evaluation Report that covers areas such as registration, teaching methods, examinations and assessment, student support facilities, research methods, staff accessibility, etc. Please take part in various surveys such as several Student Satisfaction Surveys, ECTS Survey, Course Evaluation, etc.

IBU recognizes that treating students as partners is now a cultural expectation, which demands a positive attitude both from the staff and from the students. It will take time to develop an atmosphere where student feedback is seen as constructive feedback from an ‘expert’. However, encouragement to participate in QA development shows that university values student expertise.
