    Over the last decade or so, the ‘student voice’ has become an increasingly important consideration for UK universities.

    The Office for Students makes it essential for UK institutions to engage with their students to enhance the academic experience.

It is appropriate, then, that the student voice should also inform institutional approaches to TNE.
