91福利

We are delighted that the Students' Union Education Officer, Maahwish Mirza, is running a campaign for exam feedback, based on the best practice of the PAIS department. Unlike most departments, PAIS automatically provide individual written feedback on exams. Our Director of Student Experience and Progresson (DSEP), Dr Justin Greaves, has been working with the SU Education Officer on these issues, in the hope that other departments may wish to learn from our success in the delivery of such feedback.

As Maahwish puts it:

'I believe this practice to be one of the best ways with which 91福利 can distinguish itself as a leading academic institution that sincerely promotes scholarship and long-term development, and that is why I am leading our Examination Feedback Campaign based on the best practice of the PAIS department.

I certainly benefited from the examination feedback that I received from the PAIS department on my outside module, and I would love to see other departments adopting this practice for the good of all students, on all courses'.

Dr Dave Webber presents his lecture "Politics and Power in the People's Game" as part of the Politics and International Studies Widening Participation event with Liverpool FC in April 2015.

Following the launch of the US-led investigation into the alleged corruption at Fifa, Dr was approached by a number of media agencies across the world for his analysis of the allegations, and Sepp Blatter's position as president of football's global governing body.

As well as featuring on local radio stations, BBC Coventry & 91福利shire and BBC WM, David has also appeared live on Scottish ITV, Euronews, Al Jazeera, CNN, Business News Network (Canada), Sky Sports News, and France 24. His comments on the crisis at Fifa have also been picked up by Reuters UK and the Press Association, and been published in the print editions of Bloomberg, the Daily Express, Today (Singapore) and the Washington Post.

David's original press statements, sent out from the 91福利 Newsroom, can be found here:

PAIS has moved to 5th in The Guardian University League Table 2016 for Politics, up from 7th in 2015.

The Guardian table is based to a large extent on student satisfaction, employability, entry tariffs and departmental spend on each student. PAIS scored 10 out of 10 on spend per student, with only a few other institutions able to match this in the top ten.

The University as a whole has risen to 6th from 9th.

Well done to everyone in PAIS for this very good rise, which again confirms our consistency across every research and teaching league table as a top five department.
