Making positive change
Every course and year group has a Representative (Rep), elected by their peers, who will gather your feedback and make your voice heard. They will work in partnership with your Department Rep/Subject Chairs and relevant staff to ensure your feedback is listened to, valued, and acted upon. By keeping in contact with your Rep, you will be updated on any progress.
Or become a Rep yourself. Are you someone who enjoys getting involved, or who wants to help other students feel part of their university? Maybe you really love your subject, and want to work with other Reps and staff to explore how to engage students more. You don’t have to be the most confident or outgoing person to be a Rep; you just need to have an interest in creating a really great student experience.
Who are Reps?
Course Reps are vital in making sure the student voice is heard at every level of the University decision making process! Every course year group has a Course Rep, elected by their peers, who will gather your feedback and work with course leaders to ensure your voice is listened to, valued and acted upon. Reps work in partnership with the Students' Union, the University and the students to make sure the University environment is constantly evolving and shaping in response to your feedback.
