The Spring Elections for the 2017/2018 Student Reps have begun, and nominations are now open! Have you got ideas for changes you want to make on your course? Do you think you’ve got great leadership skills? Do you think you could represent the voices of students on your course to improve the academic experience?

Each year, our members elect the students that they want to see represent them on their course and in their school. Our student reps act as the link between students, the Union and the University, to ensure that the academic changes that happen are in your best interests and come directly from students. The hours you log as a Student Rep count towards your KSCV award, and give you great employability skills for after you graduate. You might have seen them doing some of this work during your time here at Kent; now is the chance to become one of them! If elected, you will receive a full programme of training to prepare you for your role (as well as a free Student Rep hoodie!) You can find out more information about the role by reading the nominations pack, role descriptions and school specific information on our student rep resources page. Got any questions? Just e-mail us at representation@kent.ac.uk and we’ll be happy to help.

Being a Student Rep is open to all years of study- both undergraduate and postgraduate!

If you think you’re the person to make the academic changes students want to see next year, nominate yourself now!
