National Student Forum
A voice for England's students
The National Student Forum was formed in February 2008 to give a greater voice to students on Higher Education courses in England. We provide access to a diverse range of students, ensuring that the student voice is heard at a national policymaking level.
The National Student Forum's membership comprises a diverse range of higher education students who volunteer their time: undergraduates and postgraduates, full-time and part-time; younger and more mature; disabled and non-disabled; home and international students. We don't profess to be experts in the sector in all its complexity, but we are experts in what it is like to experience higher education and in understanding how different aspects of HE might look from a student perspective if things are working well.

In this second Annual Report, the National Student Forum members identify the areas that they believe are genuinely important for students, define a reasonable student expectation in these areas and, where appropriate, make specific recommendations for improvement.
On this website, we'd like to invite you to add your own thoughts to our visions for a student experience and ideas for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). We look forward to hearing from you.
