"As students are at the heart of the University, it’s hugely important that we have processes in place so the voices of students can be heard. The main way this happens at BU is through our Student Rep system."
Reps are fully trained by SUBU each year, which prepares them for their role so that they can effectively collect feedback, accurately present it, then report back to their students or… collect it, represent it, share it.
Our Student Reps are incredibly important to both SUBU and BU, as they provide amazing insights into the Student Experience, and make sure that your BU experience is the best that it can be by discussing your feedback with Programme Leaders and University Leadership. For more information about the role please see the Student Rep Role Description and information below.

Faculty Reps
Faculty Reps are Students who are elected to represent their Faculty at the highest level of our Student Representation Structure.
They work hard to bring the collective Student Voice of their faculty to important meetings, and work together to discuss feedback with the University. Amongst our Faculty Reps we also have our Faculty Officer, who sits on our Exec Committee at SUBU, bringing your Student Voice to where it can make a difference and hold our Officers to account.
