SUSU has hundreds of student volunteers that act as representatives for your course, acting at different levels within the University structure. They are able to resolve issues on your course affectively, making your experience during your time here that much better.

Being a representative has benefits for you too – you will develop a lot of skills, such as interpersonal communication, problem solving and negotiation, planning and organisation, as well as teamwork skills that will make you more employable. Plus it’s a great way to meet new people, and you receive at least 15 Graduate Passport points for being a rep.

So what are you waiting for? Scroll down and read more about how you can get involved
