Make a huge difference for all your uni mates

Being a course rep is your chance to make a huge difference to you and your course mates' time at uni. Reps are vital to the link between the university and the Students’ Union and their primary role is to represent the views of all fellow students to the right people so that constant developments are made for your good. 

Course Reps are student leaders

At the heart of it all, every student is here to study. Course reps are their leaders. Each course has at least one rep who is the main student contact for grievances and information.

No matter what your previous background or knowledge, training is provided so all your need to have in the first place is the idea and interest in representation. This is relevant to all years of study, as you may have problems or suggestions at any point. 

Perks of the position

• Impressive addition to your CV
• Fun, interactive training
• Full time SU support
• Self satisfaction
• The knowledge that you've helped to make things better!
• Improved relationship with your tutors

A common goal - Representation

All course reps have a common goal. Representation. They attend meetings with their academic tutors and voice the opinions of students studying on their course.

This doesn’t take up much of your time but is extremely beneficial for development and ensuring your views are heard. All course reps will have the opportunity to feed information towards the Executive and Sabbatical Officers of the Union to make sure your course is heard.

There is also the chance to be part of the higher university boards so you can see your suggestions being developed further in the pipeline.
