Course Reps

What is a course rep?

Our Course Rep system connects you, your course staff and your Union, ensuring you’re getting the very best from your experience at UCA.

They are elected to act as a voice for peers on their course. They represent the interests of students to work towards enhancing the overall academic experience and fostering a positive learning environment for everyone. Their main responsibility is to gather feedback and share this with academic staff at Programme Committees.

We have course reps for every course at UCA and depending on size there cold be up to six representative roles on your course.
