The Student Cohort Representative

Student representatives will be selected, either by election or self-nomination, in the early weeks of each academic year. Normally, a representative is chosen from each cohort, and stays the representative for the duration of your course (though this of course is entirely up to you and your cohort).

If you are elected as a student representative, your role will be to gather the views and opinions of the students you represent, to present these at the meetings you attend and to feed back the results and information to other students following the meeting.

As well as attending committee meetings, student representatives are often asked to give their feedback on other issues relevant to students through focus groups or other meetings which are organised on a more ad-hoc basis.

If you decide to become a student representative then, if elected, this will give you the chance to make a real contribution to your course and help create change at all levels which will benefit the experience you and your fellow students have in the College.

If you are interested in becoming a student representative, please contact the Student Services.

There is further guidance for student representatives in the Student Cohort Representatives Handbook, which is in the Student Hub on SharePoint.
