Evaluation
Process evaluation
The evaluation of the 2025鈥�26 Education Priorities Dialogues shows that the process is valued, collaborative, and effective in supporting quality enhancement across the University. Feedback from departments, panel members, coordinators, and student contributors indicates strong engagement and constructive discussion, while also highlighting areas where clearer guidance, earlier preparation, strengthened student support, and more consistent processes would improve future cycles. The student feedback was analysed separately to ensure that nuanced actions could be identified.
