Faculty Reps

A Faculty is a grouping of departments in a similar discipline and is a Course Rep who has been elected from their Staff Student Committee to represent their department at Faculty level.

What do Faculty Reps Do?

Faculty Reps find out about any concerns that students have and make them known to University staff. They are the student voice on Faculty committees and they have the chance to make that voice heard before decisions are made. They can then explain to their coursemates what those decisions are and why they were made.

Above all, they are aiming to bring about positive change in their Faculty.
