WHAT IS A COURSE REP?
A Course Rep is a student elected to be the voice of their classmates a go-to person who listens, gathers feedback, and makes sure it’s heard in the right places.
Whether it's thoughts on course content, assessment methods, or the learning environment, Course Reps bring these insights to School Reps, university staff, and the Students' Union. Together, they work to improve the student experience and push for positive change.
It’s a role that’s all about communication, collaboration, and making things better not just for you, but for everyone on your course.
So if something’s not working, or if you’ve got a great idea? Your Course Rep is there to help make it happen.
WHY ARE COURSE REPS IMPORTANT?
Course Reps are the real game-changers on campus! 🎯 They make sure your voice is heard loud and clear, whether it’s about improving your course, fixing problems, or making your university experience even better. By collecting feedback from classmates and taking it straight to the people who can make change happen, Course Reps help shape a learning environment that works for you.
They’re a vital link between students, the Students’ Union, and the university pushing for real improvements and making sure no student concern goes unnoticed. Thanks to Course Reps, your university keeps growing, evolving, and staying focused on what students need most.
