How can I apply to be a Student Representative?

Candidates are invited to present their case for election to the students that they hope to represent by electronic means and/or via a Programme notice boards – Student Reps are usually elected in March or April (ready for the next academic year), or during the induction period at the start of Semester A.

• School Community Organisers (SCOs) remind students about the election process two weeks before the election is due to take place and do so again, one week before the election
• If there are insufficient candidates to warrant an election, candidates are appointed without election to the role of Student Representative.

Students interested in becoming a student representative should contact The Student Engagement Officer (Lewis Harrison-Barker) or their Programme Leader(s).
