Students' Union
Become a course rep and get your voice heard
Your Students’ Union (SU) is at the heart of student life.
They are an independent, student-led organisation that represents your needs, protects your rights and, when it comes to making important decisions that affect you and makes sure your voice is heard. As a 糖心原创 student, you’re already a valued and celebrated member of the SU.
From its home in the Portland Building, the SU works hard to make sure your university experience is the best it can be, from the day you arrive to the day you graduate. They’re here to make sure that you can experience a huge range of social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities, make changes by standing up for what you believe in, and find support when you need a helping hand.
What is a course rep?
Course reps are a vital part of our student voice. Through gathering feedback from your peers, sitting in key meetings and by lobbying or campaigning for positive change, you can make a real difference to the academic experience of those on your course.
Course reps are given full training from the Students’ Union (SU) and offered ongoing support from their school, other reps, and the SU all throughout the year. This includes accreditation opportunities and further skills development.
How do I apply?
Every student who wants to be a course rep can be. We are now operating a system of voluntary sign-ups for the roles and there are no caps on how many reps there are per course. Plus, every single course rep will come from sign-ups via this system, so it’s the same process for all undergraduate, postgraduate taught or postgraduate research students alike.
You need to sign up. We will then email all reps a confirmation email and a link to access your training.
If you have any issues completing the form or further questions, please contact our team at the SU or your school directly.
