Programme Reps

Each year we train and support almost 700 programme reps.

What are Programme Reps?

Programme Reps gather the views and concerns of other students in their class. They are involved in improving the student learning experience by working with lecturers directly, department staff at Student Staff Liaison Committee meetings (SSLC) and Strath Union. They have the opportunity to make genuine change in the university while developing a strong skillset.

Reps are added to a MyPlace page where they can access training and more information. If you are a current Programme Rep who doesn’t yet have access to this page get in touch with Representation Coordinator, Karolina, using your university email.
