The Student Written Submission (SWS) is a document written by Kent Union to accompany the Institutional briefing paper that the University produce in preparation for the Institutional Audit. The SWS looks at students experience at the University of Kent from the students perspective; how they perceive their learning environment, the quality of the teaching, publications produced and the degree to which their voice is heard by the University.

The Quality Assurance Agency will send an audit team to visit the University in October 2008 where they will meet will students and staff to gain a further insight into the quality of the experience offered at Kent. A report will be published early in 2009.
