The University regularly hold Focus Groups in order to determine the standards of their facilities. Focus Groups are set up in order for the University to gain students input and feedback on their facilities.
Focus Groups are extremely important to the University as how else would they know what they were doing right and not doing right.

Focus Groups are essential and are a great way for students to have their say and help make a difference for all students on campus.
The next Focus Groups will be held in January 2009 - more details coming soon.
