Student Reps exist to make sure the University knows what the real issues facing students in different departments are. Whether it is the length of time it takes for students to receive feedback on their assessment, the quality of teaching facilities or hidden course costs, Student Reps exist to make your voice heard. There are elected Student Reps in every subject area, both undergraduate and postgraduate, and they work to make the learning experience for other students better.
Student Reps canvass all students within their school to listen to their views and find any issues affecting students. They then attend Student-Staff Committee meetings to present these problems and work with staff to resolve them. In the last academic year Student Reps achieved significant changes across the University. As well as general improvements to modules, timetabling, assessment and lecture facilities, Student Reps have worked to ensure better IT provision for several subjects and new provision of counselling services to students on satellite sites.
Keep an eye on the Guild of Students website as the names of your Student Reps will be going up soon. Alternatively check out the Student Rep noticeboard in your school for the latest news.
