Shortlisting Panels

  • Shortlisting panels are made up entirely of students
  • The final panel (that chooses the winners) has students, a member of staff, and 1-3 externals (externals are either from the National Union of Students, or have a Higher Education/Students’ Union background)
  • Previous final panel members include Rachel Wenstone, NUS VP HE
  • Student panellists are recruited through our volunteering service
  • here are no specific requirements to being a panellist other than you must be a student
  • There is a code of conduct whereby all information discussed in within the shortlisting panels remains confidential
