Reps act as the link between you, your union and your university.
They are volunteer representatives that are the first port of call for any suggestions, comments or queries about the academic experience. They will act as your advocate during the academic journey and you can approach them with concerns regarding course content, feedback, resources, or exams which they will pass on to the relevant staff or change makers. They will work in teams to represent all students in that cohort. They also have the chance to sit on decision making committees at various levels to be a part of the conversation, provide new ideas and enact positive change for students.
