Throughout the year, Beds SU and the University of Bedfordshire will host a variety of meetings and events to ask for your opinion, gain your perspective on a situation or to brainstorm new ideas!
Whenever Beds SU hold a meeting, you will be able to see it on our main events page. They will also normally be 'tagged', which means you can search by relevant topics for the one you would be most interested in.
Types of meetings
Beds SU will hold different meetings all year. Below are some examples, and what you can expect from each.
Chat for Change
These sessions will typically have a topic and on an ad-hoc basis.
We might want to know what you think about a certain change that the University is proposing, or whether a piece of reoccurring feedback has impacted you, and how! If you think there is a wide-spread issue affecting students at the University of Bedfordshire, you can suggest a theme for our Chat for Change by emailing help@bedssu.co.uk.
Chat for Change sessions may be held on different campuses for different themes, and they can be in person, or online. Previous topics include: Changes to the academic calendar; timetabling and resits
Focus Groups
A focus group is a bit like a group interview. The group will be made up of people who have similar traits or experiences, for example, students based at Milton Keynes or mature students. The group might then be posed with a situation or issue and asked what they would like to see in response, or what a possible solution might look like.
Focus groups are usually closed, and have less people taking part at the same time in order to enable better discussions. If there is a high number of people who want to take part in a focus group, it's likely that there will be more than one.
Student Community Forums
The purpose of Student Communities is to represent the diverse characteristics of the Membership and exist to advance the representation of student communities that are widely acknowledged to experience or have experienced oppression, exclusion, or disadvantage. They will lead and seek change within the University, the Union, and the wider student experience for those that they represent.
