In TB1, course rep roles are open to first-year undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate taught (PGT) students.
Course reps work with other reps and university staff to improve the student academic experience.
They do this by representing their course-mates’ issues and priorities at to staff at course and school/department level. Usually there is at least one Rep for every course at the University – this means a system of over 900 academic reps!

- Working with both staff and students to find solutions
- Communicating outcomes and updates back to your course-mates

The position runs from October 2025 – June 2026.
