Student Academic Reps - STARs
What are Student Academic Reps (Student Reps)?
Student Academic Reps act as a link between the students and the University. Student Reps can raise issues when something is wrong or tell the University what works for you and your student experience. They are supported by the students Union in getting your voice heard.
Who can be a Student Rep?
Any student can put themselves forward to be a Student Rep. We are looking for a wide range of people to make sure that we can represent the diverse student body here at Staffs. There are usually one or two Student Reps for each course. They are elected at the start of the year.
What do I get out of being a Student Rep?
Being a Student Rep means that you will develop a range of skills that will look great on your CV*. You will be able to claim an engagement allowance for attending your Student Staff faculty meetings. You will be making sure that the student voice is heard and who knows you may even make some new friends along the way.
