The Student Experience and Engagement Team
The Student Experience and Engagement Team works across the University and student body to ensure that students have the best possible experience while studying as part of the University of Suffolk community. They work in collaboration with course teams, professional services and Students Union to identify and resolve issues affecting the student experience by promoting better student engagement with learning, teaching and support.
The Ambassadors mediate communication between students and staff in the Student Voice Forums and the Suffolk Online Feedback in Action (SOFiA) platform to ensure the student voice is heard and students become co-creators during their learning journey. A key focus for the Student Experience and Engagement Team is to develop campaigns and initiatives which promote engagement, belonging, and community.

- Delivery of campaigns and initiatives to build belonging and community.
