BILT works with students in a number of ways to ensure that the work we do is informed by the student experience, and that research is feedback to the student body. 

Co-producing with students and championing engagement is core to BILT's role and function. This is mainly done through our Student Fellows scheme and BILT Hackathons, though we informally engaged with students through grants, funds and attendance at events.

Student Fellow project themes

We employ Student Fellows on a part-time basis to work on projects each year, the 2024-25 project themes are:

• AI and assessment  
• Active and Inclusive Learning in Small and Large Group Contexts
• Agency and Choice in Assessment Design
• Student Research Journal
• Student Research Festival

We also have two Student Fellows working on 'Developing the Bristol Skills Profile', working across both BILT and the Careers Service.
