Course Reps are a part of the Student Representation Structure, and they work with staff across the University to improve the learning and teaching experience for students.

Course Reps identify and discuss issues that affect their academic experience and help to come up with solutions alongside staff. All undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University of Liverpool have at least one Course Rep for each course year.

We’ll provide you with training, so you’re fully equipped to attend committee meetings. You’ll collect feedback from students, present this to University staff, and collaborate with them to create solutions. You’ll then be able to close the feedback loop by letting students know of the outcomes!

Alongside training, you will be appointed a Student Voice Coordinator (SVC) from the Guild who will support you throughout the year. You can arrange catch ups with the SVC to get further information and support.

  • Opportunities to develop valuable transferable skills (e.g., communication and teamwork)
  • Enhance your CV
  • Network with other students and staff across the University
  • Influence University decisions
  • Represent students
  • Course Reps will be awarded certifications from the Guild to highlight their achievements. This will be explained further in the Course Rep training

Course Rep recruitment will usually take place in September/October each year with a selection or election process, depending on your course. Once confirmed, Course Reps will be added to the Student Representatives Database and be asked to attend one of the Rep 101 training sessions running throughout October, and Bystander Intervention

Training. It’s important you attend the training to gain the relevant knowledge and skills to be able to effectively carry out the role and meet other Reps.

To become a Course Rep, contact your Course Lead, Head of Department or Student Experience Team to put your name forward. If you have any questions or would like more support, please contact the Student Voice Team by emailing guildrepresentation@liverpool.ac.uk
