Student Reps at UWS
.staff and students at UWS. Student reps are our experts on the ground - tuned into whatstudents need! Reps also link the students' association with the university. Reps have three main roles: 1. Gathering opinions and feedback from students 2. Sharing that information in meetings with staff and working together to find solutions. 3. Feeding back the outcome of those meetings to students. Reps also sit on student council - which sets policy direction for the Students' Association, andmay also share information with the Students' Association. Reps might even get the opportunityto sit on a school or programme board, to represent classmates at an even higher level. Being a rep develops valuable skills that will really help you when you're looking for a job suchas communication, negotiation, and team-working. Not only that, we officially recognise ourreps through the Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR). This means that your role asa rep will go on your academic transcript along side your degree results. You can also achievereally great things - other reps have managed to get books added to the library, changes madeto the timing of assignments, and changes made to class tests to make sure they are fair foreveryone. We also give reps full training and support throughout the year to make sure thatreps are supported and can really make a difference at UWS. Reps are elected by their classmates so talk to your programme leader about becoming a repthis year.
