School Reps
What are
School Reps?
There is one School Rep per Department or School. They are responsible for coordinating the Course Reps and act as the main point of contact for broader feedback which may need escalating within the University. Their main purpose is to lead, motivate, and support their School/Department’s Rep team with collecting and raising student feedback. School Rep positions open for our undergraduate students at the end of the academic year in March. School Rep positions open for our postgraduate-taught students at the start of the academic year in October.
