This section contains information about the role of a student rep, and how you can become one. Student reps are recruited from the start of the academic year in September/October. We would normally expect all rep vacancies to be filled by late October. Student reps do not roll over from one year to the next, so there will always be opportunities to be involved at levels 2 and 3 of undergraduate study for students to be involved who did not sign up in their first year.

Each faculty has a member of staff who is responsible for supporting the students reps and the rep structure within that faculty. Your student reps can be contacted through the relevant rep coordinator for that faculty.

This section is for student reps who quickly want to access some information.

Welcome to the Student Reps staff resource area. This section should hopefully makes things little clearer about the role of reps and how staff are involved. The Student Rep resource area also has useful information about the rep role which we recommend staff also have a look at.

Each year the union puts on a thank you party to thank reps for all their hard work over the year. We also give out awards to reps who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Look out for more details through the year about the night and the awards!

During your year as a rep you have the opportunity to gain a rep certificate. To gain a certificate you will need to complete three goals and attend fundamental training. The goals can be anything from improving communication to meeting new people. You will get told all about the scheme when you go to training

Hello!!!

My name is Katy Phillips, your Student Representative President for 2009/10. This means that I am here for you, the students, working on projects you've asked me to, or on issues which affect your UWE lives.

I also represent all of you at university and union meetings to ensure decisions are made in your best interest.

It's been 6 months (and gone sooo fast!) and I'm still working hard at fullfilling those manifesto pledges and making sure each and every one of you is represented. If you have any questions or want to see something about your Union change PLEASE get in touch. This is your University, and YOUR UWE experience...it should be nothing short of ace!
