the university recognises that life is complex and that a student's quest for knowledge and development in their career is important; however, their life outside of uni is just as valuable, especially balancing work commitments. At times, tutors can be dismissive of student's responsibilities outside of university.

Act on feedback from previous students experience. We complete Evalu8 for a reason, all responses should be considered, not just when a threshold of student engagement is reached.

Focus on the end goal throughout the course content - eg if the course means you'll be running your own business at the end of it (for example, nutrition clinic, or physio) it should include a business elective component to prepare students for their actual career, not just a degree at the end of it.

A variety of opertunities to engage in self development classes and social groups, for older students too.
