WHAT IS AN SVL?

A Student Voice Leader (SVL) is an academic representative that serves as a link between students and University. Each programme has an SVL who represents their cohort in meetings with academic team. Throughout the year, you can go to them to suggest ideas and give feedback about your module, programme or wider University experience. They will then work with your Programme Leader and other University staff to find solutions and make your time at Middlesex the best it can be.

WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE ROLE?

Student Voice Leader is a flexible voluntary role. The main responsibility of a SVL is to gather feedback from their cohort and take this forward to academic staff at regular Programme Voice Group (PVG) meetings. SVLs complete compulsory training, work closely with the MDXSU Student Voice Team, receive SVL Newsletters and engage in any additional developmental and network opportunities, such as chairing PVGs, attending SVL socials or attending the new Education Leaders' Forum once per semester.

To find out more, view the Student Voice Leader Role Description or visit our FAQs page. You can also look at the SVL Code of Conduct.

HOW DO I BECOME AN SVL?

Student Voice Leaders are recruited at the beginning of each academic year. You should receive a communication from the Students' Union and your Programme Leader about ways to put yourself forward.

Nominations for 2025/26 Student Voice Leaders will open on Monday 15th September 2025 and remain open throughout the academic year. Students can nominate themselves here.

TRAINING

Student Voice Leaders are fully supported and trained by the MDXSU Student Voice Team. The compulsory training provides a detailed overview of the role and expectations, giving you all the necessary information to become a successful SVL, therefore there is no prior experience necessary.
