This is a unique and exciting opportunity open to all students and users at King’s (including Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and PhD)



 



 



What is the Student Advisory Board?

SAB members will carry out a range of different activities, such as reviewing our systems, services, and events, and speaking to other students to gain feedback.



 



The Board will meet six times across the academic year (see key dates listed below). Members will also conduct research on our services as instructed across the academic year.

You will also meet like-minded people and will be invited to attend a celebration event at the end.

A student from the previous cohort described their time on the Student Advisory Board as: "A rewarding experience".
