The University believes that students’ input is of paramount importance. Therefore, the University has invested in a system of Student Voice Representatives (SVRs). Student Voice Reps are a kind of ‘Super Rep’ taking on communication between Course Reps, the Faculty, other Committees and groups and the Students’ Union.

What's involved?

The role is supported by a comprehensive training programme. As a Student Voice Rep, you get new job skills, get to know people, and get rewarded. The role will be rewarded with a scholarship payment which you can claim at the end of the academic year.

What are SVRs?

Course Rep and SVR Awards

Every year we celebrate the hard work of Coure Reps and SVRs with an awards ceremony and buffet. You will receive a certificate and perhaps an award if you've gone above and beyond the call of duty!
