Your time at Coventry University is about more than just attending classes and studying – it's about creating an enriching and inclusive environment that supports your personal and academic growth. The Student Rep System plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal by:
- Developing your employability skills: Serving as a student representative is not only a way to contribute to your university community but also a chance to develop valuable leadership, communication, and negotiation skills that will serve you well beyond graduation.
- Fostering Community: Through the Student Rep System, you'll connect with like-minded students who are passionate about making a difference. It's an opportunity to build friendships, network, and create lasting bonds with your peers.
- Living-wage employer: Not only do you get paid the living wage per hour, but also holiday pay. It is worth noting that the role of the course rep is voluntary.
- Reward scheme: Our Digital Badges and Leadership Awards scheme are recognised by employers. For every skill you achieve whilst being a rep, and for every new experience you have, our awards will help you showcase your achievement. They are also compatible with LinkedIn. Learn more about skills here.
- Rep of the Month: Every month students nominate reps who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. One rep per learning location is awarded a Rep of the Month award. You can learn more about rewards here.
- Exclusive Opportunities: We host rep-exclusive networking, social, and employability events. This means that as a rep you have exclusive access to a whole set of learning and networking opportunities.
