What do student course representatives do?

A Student Course Representative is there to gather and give voice to feedback from students. All courses have Course Reps - at least one per course per level of study. Course Reps are elected to represent their peers via an election process run by the Students' Union. Student Course Representatives undertake the following:

• Attend training provided by the Students' Union

• Attend relevant meetings, including Staff/Student Liaison Meetings and Student Voice Forum.

• Consult with peers about course-related issues

• Represent peers to staff in meetings within your department and course

• Feedback information to peers

• Share issues with fellow Reps and the VP Voice at the Students' Union

Being a Student Course Representative gives you the chance to represent your fellow students, and to discuss ideas and decisions that will affect not only your cohort, but future students too. It's a fantastic volunteering opportunity that helps you develop your skills and employability, and will be recorded on your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) transcript.

Elections

Elections for new Course Reps take place at the beginning of the academic year and take place for returning students in April. Students can nominate themselves to become a Course Rep via the Students' Union website.
