5. Student experience

Students feel much more part of a group since the change from non-cohort to cohorted. This has also had a huge impact on success, progression, completion and retention rates. Student feedback (see below) is largely positive in terms of the benefits of collaborative activities, although comments highlight how different students have different needs, with some receiving adequate peer support in their professional context, and so requiring less from peers on the programme.
