Your Guide to becoming a Student Change Maker
Welcome to the Course Rep Hub, the place where ideas turn into action. Being a Course Rep is all about shaping the way your course, your school, and your university evolve. Whether you are passionate about improving academic life, creating a sense of community, or simply making sure the student voice is never ignored, this is your chance.
What is a Course Rep?
A Course Rep is the voice of their course. You shall gather feedback from your peers (fun fact: you get to pick your favourite method of surveying!), represent their views to staff and help influence decisions. Think of yourself as the bridge between students and the university. Part advocate, part innovator, part problem-solver – how cool is that?
Why We Need Course Reps
Because no one understands the student experience better than… students. Course Reps make sure feedback is heard at all levels, from module leaders to senior staff. That means it is students shaping policies, improving teaching and reimagining what education can look like.
What’s in it for You
- Impact: You shall directly shape your course and the wider student experience.
- Connections: Meet new people across the university, staff and students alike.
- Recognition: Your work is officially acknowledged with a certificate.
Skills you will gain
- Problem-solving and negotiation
- Leadership and confidence
- Time management and teamwork
- Public speaking and communication
All of these skills (there are more too!) look brilliant on a CV, and even better in real life!
The Time Commitment (Spoiler: It’s Not Much!)
On average, just 5-6 hours a month. That is enough to collect feedback, attend meetings and make a difference, without sacrificing your studies or social life.
Training and Support
We do not just throw you in at the deep end. You shall get unlimited guidance from the Students’ Union, whenever you wish to, and receive resources like the Rep Handbook. Which (in our humble opinion) is super fun to read and easy to understand!
Events, Socials and Recognition
From coffee mornings and Rep Socials to the Awards Ceremony, you will be celebrated for your work. You shall also get to meet other Reps, share experiences and join a community of passionate student leaders.
