Student representatives
Built for consultation
Our representatives act as a bridge between students and the University and ensure that all students are consulted throughout their journey. This allows the University to act on feedback and create positive change for the whole student community.
With a focus on the student cohort, this trustee attends Board of Trustee meetings and sub-committees to provide non-executive oversight of all University activities and to contribute to the development of strategy and the university’s future vision.
The University’s Academic Board is our supreme academic authority and guardian of the academic quality and standards of its higher and further education awards. The Academic Board is a standing committee of the Board of Trustees. We have two student representatives on this board who attend all meetings and provide insight and feedback on the student experience.
Programme student representatives represent the students on each specific programme. They encourage debate, champion students’ views and act as a communication channel between programme leaders and students.
