Have your say in our Student Experience Survey, get involved in the Student Voice Festival in July and submit for the next issue of edge zine. Find out more below.
OCA and the OCA Student Association (OCASA) is in the process of organising our Student Voice Festival 2026.
In order to inform it we need your input. Right now we are collecting information regarding the student experience at OCA. We are sure that there are things that OCA can be doing better, and we want to hear all about what you have to say on that topic. We are also very interested in the things that you like about OCA and what is working well.
Your collective responses from the survey will be made available to key OCA staff members who help us to enhance the quality of the student experience. The comments will be categorised by course, ensuring individual students will not be identified.
To make sure your feedback is as helpful as possible, please include a reasonable amount of detail with your submissions.
Please note that this form is anonymous, meaning that we can’t respond to your feedback directly. If you need help with something, please contact the Student Support team directly via email studentadvice@oca.ac.uk or find relevant policies on the OCA website here.
We want to ensure that our students feel heard, this academic year we have more student representatives within OCA Governance groups and we try to enhance the student community by signposting you to relevant help and creating collaborative and creative opportunities for you to participate in, in order to support you in your learning journey.
Please respond to this survey by 1 April 2026. It should take around 10 minutes to complete.
Thank you for participating.
View the presentation below for the highlights of the 2025 Student Survey.
OCA also asks students to complete surveys early in their course units, at the end of a unit and at the end of a stage of study, please do try and complete these so we can get a true sense of your learning and teaching needs.
