So, what does a Student Rep do?

Put simply, Student Reps are the link between you and your School. They’re here to collate your feedback, communicate your views to the University and work with staff to make improvements to your education.

That’s not to say all students can’t approach their lecturers or Faculty staff if they have an issue or a suggestion, however Student Reps sit on University committees so can take your feedback directly to staff and work on solutions to improve your experience.

All Reps receive training and the opportunity to attend specialist workshops. Not only is it great for your CV it’s also a really rewarding role!
