COURSE REPRESENTATIVES
Course representatives play an important role in increasing communication and feedback between students, course tutors and College management. Representatives meets twice a term and discuss issues to do with services provided by the College as well as providing feedback on teaching and learning. Being a Course Representative is a great way to learn new skills and something to add to your CV!
The duties of a course representative are to:
- Represent the views and concerns of students on a particular course
- Be involved in the management of their course through attending programme area meetings where requested
- Disseminate information to course colleagues
- Take part in forums and meetings where student feedback is needed
- Attend faculty meetings where requested
CLUBS & SOCIETIES
Any member of the Student Union can apply to establish a club or society, which could receive financial or other support from the Union. The College will welcome anyone who wants to start a club, as long as the group follows the guidelines laid down in the Student Union constitution.
All you have to do is present your idea with a written proposal with the signatures of at least 10 students who support your application.
