Your Course: making yourself heard

Course Representatives (also known as "Course Reps") are undergraduate and postgraduate students, elected by other students in their department, to speak on their behalf.   Reps act as the middle person between students and staff to represent the student voice on any issue affecting the quality of the student experience within the department and more widely across the University as a whole.
