Academic Support and Representation
At Undeb ¾«¶«´«Ã½, we’re committed to helping you succeed academically and make your voice count. Our Academic Advice Service offers confidential support on any academic issues, while our team of School Representatives (School Reps) play a key role in shaping the student learning experience at ¾«¶«´«Ã½.
Becoming a School Rep is a fantastic way to get involved, make a difference, and develop valuable skills for your future career. School Reps are student volunteers who represent the academic interests of their peers within their School. They review and analyse student feedback submitted through a centralised online form, identify key themes, and work collaboratively with university staff to find solutions and improvements.
Reps attend Staff-Student Liaison Committees (SSLiCs) to share student perspectives and help drive positive change. It’s a chance to influence real decisions, gain leadership and communication experience, and ensure that students’ voices are heard across the University.
Whether you’re passionate about improving the student experience or looking to build confidence and employability skills, being a School Rep is a rewarding and impactful way to get involved from your first year.
