The Melbourne School of Design (MSD) Student Forum was developed in 2017 to address the need to include students in decision making in the Faculty. The Student Forum is a chance for students to engage with the Faculty in a productive dialogue that is focused on improving the student experience.
What is the Student Forum?
The Student Forum is a regular meeting run by students, and open to all students, that represents the interests of all Undergraduate and Graduate Students in ABP. The Student Forum brings together the whole Faculty community, including teaching and administrative staff and - most importantly - you, the students!
In these meetings we discuss issues relating to your studies and student experience. The Student-Staff Forum provides a platform to propose new initiatives for improving education and student affairs. Feel free to reach out to the student chairs for more information or to submit an item for discussion.
Benefits
The Student-Staff Forum is your chance to provide feedback, propose changes to curricular and co-curricular activities and to work with the entire Faculty community to improve the overall student experience. You can simply come along and hear the discussion, or get submit items that you think should be discussed in the next forum.
While administrators and teachers attend and contribute to these meetings, it is students who manage the Student-Staff Forum and its operations. Depending on the time commitment you demonstrate you may be eligible for a Letter of Recognition from the Dean (and soon also a Melbourne+ Digital Credential).
Next Meeting
There are no more meetings scheduled for 2026. The Student-Staff Forum will convene for its first meeting of 2027 sometime around Week 3 of Sem 1, 2027.
