Opportunity from Oxford University Press:
"OUP publishes a wide range of student-focused textbooks and we run student panels to hear what students really think about our products so we can shape our textbook content and design to meet your needs.
Being part of our student panel means taking online surveys, completing reviews and offering opinions on new publishing ideas throughout the year. In return, students receive credits which can be redeemed for OUP books; each credit is equivalent to £5. We have had very positive feedback from panellists who find it incredibly rewarding to know they are influencing the textbooks used on their course, as well as gaining the credits to save some extra money through the year.
Being on the OUP student panel also allows students to demonstrate their analytical and critical thinking skills and can enhance their CV. At the end of your time as an active member of the panel, panellists will receive a reference letter and a certificate of participation. More information on the panel and how to apply can be found here.
Applications are open now - we review applications on a rolling basis but apply early to avoid missing out on tasks. The first task will be sent out on 30th October 2023.
