Each elected Rep plays a vital role in making your academic experience better whether that’s raising issues, celebrating what’s working, or helping to shape decisions that affect your education. Find out how they represent you.
Programme Reps
Programme Reps represent students at the course or programme level. Each programme should have at least one rep who listens to student feedback, raises concerns at Programme Boards, Student Voice Forums, and staff-student meetings, and works with staff to improve your learning experience.
You might have reps for different year groups or types of study (e.g. undergraduate, postgraduate taught, joint honours, international, or mature students). They’re the first point of contact for any academic-related feedback.
School Reps
School Reps are senior student representatives who work at the school level to support Programme Reps and represent wider student feedback. At Roehampton, each academic School has two School Reps: one for undergraduate students and one for postgraduate students.
They attend key university meetings such as School Boards and the Education Committee and work closely with the VP Education and RSU staff to ensure student voices influence decisions at the highest level.
Vice President Education
The VP Education is a full-time, elected sabbatical officer responsible for leading on all things academic at the SU. They:
- Oversee the academic representation system
- Support and train reps
- Attend University-level meetings like Academic Board
- Campaign for improvements to your educational experience
They’re your go-to person if you want to talk about the big-picture issues affecting students across Roehampton. Ultimately, the VP Education works to ensure that the academic representation system is being used effectively across the University. If you’ve got ideas, concerns, or questions about your academic experience, they’re a great person to speak to.
