Student reps

The role of a Student Representative

Student representatives attend and participate in Board meetings and other functions, and present the students' voice. Students may contact their representative should they require advice or to discuss any complaints they may wish to air. Student representatives on Boards of Studies deal mainly with issues related to a specific programme of studies, while broader issues are best referred to the student representatives on the Institute Board.
