Be one of the first students to see how new Arden programmes before they launch.

Ever wondered how a university programme is created?

As part of Arden's curriculum transformation project, we're looking for students to act as Student Programme Reviewers. Think of it as mystery shopping a brand-new programme before it goes live.

You'll get an exclusive first look at new and updated programmes and tell us what stands out, what could be clearer, and what questions future students might have.

Your feedback will help shape the learning experience for future Arden students.

What's a Student Programme Reviewer?

Student Programme Reviewers provide feedback on new and updated programme proposals before they are approved and delivered.

You don't need any specialist knowledge or previous experience. If you're an Arden student, your perspective is exactly what we need.

You'll review programme information through the eyes of a student and help answer questions like:

• Would this programme excite and interest prospective students?
• Does the information feel clear, inclusive and easy to understand?
• What questions or concerns might students have?
• Does the programme seem relevant to the needs of todays students?

This is your opportunity to make sure future students' voices are represented during an important stage of programme development.

Who can apply?

Any current Arden student can sign up to be a Student Programme Reviewer.

We're particularly keen to hear from students with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. The more diverse our reviewers, the better we can shape programmes that work for all students.

The only requirement is that you are a current and actively studying Arden student.

How much time does it take?

This is a flexible volunteering opportunity designed to fit around your studies and other commitments.

When a review opportunity is available, we'll send you the programme documents alongside a simple feedback form. Most reviews take between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the size of the programme and the materials being reviewed.

There's no requirement to participate in every review opportunity.

Why get involved?

By becoming a Student Programme Reviewer, you can:

✅ Influence the future of Arden's curriculum

✅ Represent the student voice in university decision-making

✅ Develop your critical review and feedback skills

✅ Gain valuable experience for your CV and LinkedIn profile

✅ Receive a Certificate of Recognition for your contribution

✅ Help create a better experience for future students

Most importantly, you'll help ensure programmes are developed with students, not just for students.
