Welcome Week

There are several sessions taking place during Welcome Week (25th September to 29th September 2023). The Welcome Week Schedule page contains details of the sessions we are running. See our Welcome Week brochure: (English version). I will contact separately those foundation year students progressing into the first year.-->

The First year assessment schedule can be found here (when ready): https://teaching.dcs.aber.ac.uk/dates/Year/One.

Giving us feedback about your course

We like to hear your feedback on your course and modules. This can be when things go well and when you think things can be improved. We have a few ways that you can do this. Firstly, if the item relates to a module, you can speak to your module co-ordinator. Secondly, you can speak to one of your Student Union representatives. These will represent your views, e.g. at the Staff Student Consultative Committee (SSCC) meetings. You can also raise issues via the Module Evaluation Questionnaire (MEQ) run for every module. You can also raise issues via the Tell Us Now form on the following page: Tell Us Now Comment Form.

We always prefer to hear about any issues sooner than later, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Staff Student Consultative Committee (SSCC) Representatives

The SSCC meets once each semester. The representatives will seek your views ahead of the meetings, but you can contact them at any time to raise any issues. You will find your representatives listed on your student record page.

Careers Info

Information about careers opportunities are made available on the yourfuture site that is setup for the department. It can only be accessed via the Aberystwyth network (either on Campus or via VPN).

The site contains information for students in all years, but more information will be available for students in years 2 and 3.

Neal Snooke (contact details) is the Employability coordinator for the department.
