EASTBIO Annual Student Survey 2023 Response

Thank you to those who completed the 2023 Student Survey, which closed at the end of May 2023. About 40% of the total EASTBIO student population provided feedback on the DTP, its processes, and governance. 

The Training and Development Sub-Committee has discussed this feedback in great detail, highlighting priority areas, and producing a proposal of changes to the programme, and response to students highlighting these changes, which was put to the wider management group for implementation and approval.
