Student Forum
The RDM Student Forum exists to foster a community environment within the student body across all our sites and to encourage communication and feedback between students and staff in our Department.
The Forum is made up of representatives from across the Department, including Peer Supporters and student members of RDM committees, such as the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the Researcher Association. It meets three times a year and is an opportunity for students to raise any concerns with RDM's leadership and provide feedback on various aspects of life as an RDM student.
Two members of the Student Forum attend termly Graduate Joint Consultative Committee (GJCC) meetings within the Medical Sciences Division as well as RDM Graduate Studies Committee meetings.
The Student Forum organises social events for RDM students throughout the year as well as induction/welcome events for new students. In the past these have included a film night, summer parties and outings to Junkyard Golf. They also organise the RDM Buddy Scheme to help new students adjust to the Department and foster connections across different year groups by pairing new students with current students within their division.
