University of Plymouth commits to three-year Student Voice AI partnership
Updated Apr 06, 2026
The University of Plymouth has committed to a three-year partnership with Student Voice AI to turn open-text student feedback into faster action across the institution. The agreement covers onboarding core surveys and refining reporting outputs, so teams can spot issues sooner and respond with more confidence.
The partnership is designed to shorten the gap between collecting open-text feedback and getting structured analysis of open-text survey comments in front of the people who need it. That gives the university a clearer view of emerging issues and makes it easier to act while feedback is still fresh.
Laura Burbidge, MI & Analytics Manager at the University of Plymouth, described the early results: "The adoption of Student Voice services has improved efficiencies here at the University of Plymouth and enabled speedy provision of categorised open comments. That means actions can be put in place more quickly."
On onboarding and the ongoing collaboration, Burbidge said: "Student Voice have been incredibly helpful and flexible from the outset, ensuring the smooth onboarding of all our core surveys. They are very proactive and encourage a collaborative partnership, enabling my team to constantly evolve the service and outputs we access."
Burbidge added: "We are very much looking forward to working with Student Voice over the next three years, as we continue to develop our capability."
That combination of faster categorisation, clearer reporting and ongoing iteration helps institutions make student voice evidence more usable across the year, not just at survey close.
