Above are our PDG's (Personal Development Goals). In your role as a Course Rep you will posess many of these qualities if not all of them! It is good to identify areas where your personality shines through and areas where you may need some Personal Development. These icons were created to help you do that. 

Alongside our mandatory Rep Training (to acquaint reps with their role once elected or appointed) we also recognise we have a role in supporting the ongoing development of representation skills and facilitating reps to recognise their value and articulate them.

You can find below details of upcoming workshops and development opportunities open to our Reps:

Student Voice Conference 2025

The Student Voice Conference took place on Friday 17th January 2025 and focused on the theme 'Leading Through a New Lense'. The event featured a variety of guest speakers, including Mack Marshall (Community and Policy Officer from WonkHE) and Saranya Thambirajah (Vice President Liberation and Equality at NUS UK).

Student engagement was great at the event, and attendees provided feedback indicating that the conference enhanced their skill set and inspired their thinking about future leadership opportunities.

Thank you to all who attended this event! 

Rep Workshops 2025

Course Reps need to establish and maintain communication with the Students' Union’s Vice President Education, their Course Leader, their Academic Representation Coordinator (ARC) and the Department Reps.

We want to help Course Reps recognise the skills they develop through their role and be able to clearly articulate these for any future employers or opportunities.
