Your Course Reps

Course Reps volunteer to represent the views of students on their course, about their course. Each Course Rep is responsible for their own specific year group within their programme. They work with their Student Voice Rep, Programme Lead, and academic staff to ensure that student feedback is acted upon and that your course works for you.
