Abstract
This research delves into the disparity between the provision of feedback opportunities and the clarity of feedback implementation for business and management students at the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton. Employing a qualitative constructivist approach, the study aims to uncover the barriers to student feedback integration and propose solutions for enhancing university responsiveness. The investigation reveals significant differences in feedback implementation rates and the perceived value of student opinions, with implications for teaching quality and student satisfaction. The study employs questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups to gather insights from students and staff, emphasizing the need for transparent communication and actionable feedback loops. The findings suggest that universities must prioritize student voices to foster a positive learning culture and improve institutional practices.
