STUDENT REPS #PURPLEARMYStudent Reps#purplearmy


WHAT IS A STUDENT REP?A Student Rep is a student who has been elected by their class to represent student views and opinions to BU and SUBU. Student Reps are elected by their course to collect feedback, represent it to the University, and work with staff to create change. You don’t need any previous experience because you’ll get full training by the SUBU Rep Team.

The student representation system is essential in any University; it’s vital to ensure that every student’s voice is represented and heard by the Uni and SUBU.
