Interested in Becoming a Course Rep?

 

SIGN UP TO BE A REP HERE!

Here at Bangor University, around 300 students volunteer each year to represent you in academic matters. Course reps are the students at the forefront, making sure students' voices are listened to and fighting for positive changes that affect your academic experience. 
 
The main job of a course rep is to gather feedback from students about their academic experience. Course reps regularly meet with the teaching staff in your school at Staff Student Committees to discuss students' viewes and implement positive changes. They also work closely with us, Undeb Bangor, to tackle any wider issues. 
 
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, about a module, your course or your academic experience in general, your Course Rep can make sure it's heard by the right people.
