Academic representation is a partnership between YUSU, the GSA and University Departments. Together, we aim to ensure that students contribute directly to the process of reviewing, maintaining and enhancing the quality of the academic experience here.
You can go to academic reps with any feedback about best practice, concerns or suggestions about how the department or aspects of your programme are run.
There are three types of academics reps:
Responsibilities of Course Reps:
We are always looking for ways to improve the programme on the basis of the experience of staff and students. For this reason we ask you to let us have constructive comments and criticisms, either by approaching a staff member directly, or via your representative on the BoS. We will endeavour to act where possible, and if not, let you know the reason.
If you’d like to represent the views of your fellow students and have a say in how your programme is run, why not apply to be a course rep? You can stand for election at the beginning of Autumn term.
