Every year the Student’s Union Representation Department holds a Student Representatives Award Ceremony as a way for the Students’ Union and the University to say a big THANK YOU to all the Student Representatives for their hard work, time and commitment over the year.
Every Trained Student Representative receives a Certificate of Achievement at the ceremony.
Also, every year each School nominates their ‘Best Student Representative of the Year’ which is presented by the Quality Dean of School.
Each Best Student Representative of the Year receives a special Certificate of Achievement along with a gift.
We also have extra special award,
‘The Best Overall Student Representative’.
This award is presented on behalf of the Students’ Union Representation Department to the student who has been the most active within the Students’ Union meetings, Focus Groups and other activities outside of the academic structure.
The night is free for all Student Representatives and their guests are welcome.
There is a FREE Reception drink on arrival and the evening concludes with a finger buffet.
