The University and the Students’ Union believe that Student Reps play an important role in representing students and improving the quality of their courses. Reps primary function is to help make things better for students.
Reps are responsible for talking to fellow students on their course, identifying any issues and concerns and raising them with the course team. They also regularly attend course meetings throughout the academic year, to review and help develop their course. Some Reps are appointed to represent the whole School or College and they work closely with the Students’ Union and University.
Reps get things changed for the better, for both individuals and whole courses. Whether its just pointing you in the right direction, or making formal representation at committee meetings, Reps are there to help you.
There is at least one Rep on every course, and they will make themselves known to you when you start. If you are not sure who your course Rep is, you can contact the SU to find out. Throughout the year, your Course Rep will ask you to provide feedback about your experience as a student. Please have your say.
