Course Reps are vital to ensuring the best possible student experience at CU London and Coventry University London. There a group of courses that are under-represented and currently do not have Reps!

The Course Rep System is run by Your Students' Union and exists to give you a voice on your University experience. Course Reps are appointed students who meet with University and Union staff to represent the academic interests of their peers

Throughout the term, Course Reps gather feedback from their peers and then bring this to Student Voice Meetings with the University and Students’ Union. This feedback is then either resolved in the meeting or actions are taken away by Staff. All students in meetings are given a voice and a platform to improve the student experience

What is the purpose of the role? 

In both roles, you will be responsible for representing all students within your school or campus on matters relating to the learning experience.

You will gather information from both students you represent and Reps that fall under you in your school or campuses to stay in touch with students’ views and opinions.
