How am I represented at Roehampton?
Programme Reps make up a vital part of the way that students' views and interests are represented within University decision making. Reps should be the first point of contact for students in the department who want an issue or idea addressed at the Programme Boards, or who have had concerns about the way their course is organised or run.

Programme Reps lie within a broader structure of representation coordinated by RSU, which includes having Officers and reps on the highest decision-making bodies across the University. By joining up these different parts of the University, RSU and Programme Reps can ensure that the highest quality education is enjoyed by all students at Roehampton and that the institution develops in the way students want.

So if you love something about your course,

Loathe something about your course,

Or have ideas which you think will develop the Learning and Teaching on your Programme speak to your Programme Rep.
