Student Partnership Framework
Student Partnership Framework
The DCU Student Partnership Framework identifies three streams of activity under University-Student partnership: student representation, feedback and dialogue, and opportunities for staff-student activities.
Our approach to implementing initiatives under each of these streams will be informed by the values of the Framework, and is underpinned by an acknowledgement that both staff and students will require support in creating positive impact across all streams.
The Framework is aligned to the broader NStEP domains of effective student engagement, this framework will pave the way to advance student participation in

Programme Development and Review
The Framework recognises the value of student representation in academic processes through which the University develops and delivers its programmes.
This includes ensuring student representation on committees tasked with decision-making on new programme development, programmatic review, and curriculum reform.
The Framework acknowledges the important role played by both Associate Deans for Teaching and Learning and student Faculty Convenors in developing strong working relationships for effective representation in these activities. The Framework also considers the important role played by elected class representatives on programme boards.
