Faculty Rep

Faculty Reps will be assigned to sit on a committee within their relevant faculty, where matters relating to students’ teaching and learning experience are discussed at a senior level. In recent years, committees have discussed a variety of topics including: the student attendance project, group work policy, National Student Survey action plans, and examination procedure.

Faculty Reps will develop key skills such as communication and negotiation, as well as gain experience in discussing topics relevant to the student experience in a strategic setting. If you fulfil the requirements of the role and you are an undergraduate or postgraduate taught student, it can also be recognised with a Liverpool Award certificate and digital badge. Being a Faculty Rep is also a great addition to your LinkedIn and CV!
