Student representation and participation – MSc Res Digital Media and Culture

Staff members at the University of Edinburgh work closely with student representatives.

Edinburgh University Students’ Association (EUSA) coordinates student representation and provides training and support for student representatives across the University. Student representatives (‘Reps’) listen to you to identify areas for improvement, suggest solutions, and ensure that your views inform strategic decisions within the University, building a stronger academic community and improving your student life. Schools share students’ emails with their student representatives as a matter of course; any student wishing to opt out from this should tell the School’s Teaching Office/Graduate School or equivalent.

Student Feedback

Student feedback is taken seriously in Edinburgh College of Art, and the opportunity is provided for postgraduate students to raise any issues, of concern or praise, via the Postgraduate Student/Staff Liaison Committee (PGSLC), which holds one meeting each semester and is chaired and attended by members of staff.

Each of the taught MSc programmes should nominate their own representative to speak on this Committee, at the beginning of the academic year (usually in the first

week of Semester 1). If you are interested in being a student rep, please contact the Postgraduate Secretary.

The student rep is responsible for letting the wider student body know when meetings of the PGSLC will be held, and should invite students to tell him/her of any ideas or problems. Students should also feel free to approach the nominated student representative at any time with particular issues. Additionally, all students are invited to give full and free comments and opinions on all aspects of the programme, both to the Postgraduate Director and to other members of staff, at any time.
