University of South Wales Students' Union

 

As part of their role as SVRs, the entire Student Voie Forum work toward a university-wide research project which examines an academic issue facing students. The project is led by the Chair of SVF with assistance from faculty SVRs. At the first SVF of the 2022/23 academic year, a research project will be decided. 

 

In previous years, SVRs have undertaken individual research projects as part of their roles. You can view previous projects in the SVR Project Archive.
