Student Open Meetings at The University of Manchester

Manchester's senior leadership values the insight and feedback our students provide, and want to connect with you on important topics that can sometimes feel unclear or overlooked. So we're hosting a series of podcasts to provide you with the opportunity to make your student voice heard and ask our leadership anything you like. Each episode brings together members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) as panellists, with SU Execs hosting the discussion. The focus is often related to key parts of the Manchester 2035 strategy, with questions submitted by students ahead of time through Mentimeter. From student support, to the ethics of university research, we aim to cover a broad range of topics to discuss as part of this series.
