Course Reps

By far our largest community of volunteers, SU Course Reps are essential to creating positive change. The University and the Students' Union rely on Course Reps for feedback about specific courses. However, most importantly Course Reps represent students. They will speak to staff, sit in meetings, present the views and experiences of students and learn transferrable skills as they do so.

We aim to elect Course Reps within the first three weeks of term, so whether you start in September, January or June, there is a role available for you!

We expect all of our Course Reps to attend training so that they can feel confident in their role and know what support is available to them. We also create a number of resources that we believe Course Reps will find useful, and organise a variety of events to grow this community.

No Course Rep? No problem! If you're interested contact your lecturer, who should hold a 'mini-election' in class.
