About Student-Staff Partnerships

Our team is dedicated to creating opportunities for student-staff partnership at UCL, including our flagship programme ChangeMakers!

History

UCL ChangeMakers was introduced in the 2014-2015 academic year, when we piloted 10 student-led projects influenced by the work of Lizz Dunne's Students as Change Agents at the University of Exeter. Since then, ChangeMakers has evolved to support 50-80 projects each academic year underpinned by the values of student-staff partnership. Our team has also expanded to offer more opportunities to work in partnership with students such as our ChangeMakers Teaching Excellence programme and our Student Fellows programme. 

Benefits of working in partnership

  • Students undertaking the projects become more engaged, responsible and pro-active learners – students with a stronger sense of belonging.
  • Departments gain the expertise and enthusiasm of students motivated to help make positive change at UCL. 
  • Both learn from the experience of working with the other in a relationship of trust, equality and mutual gain.
