Course Reps

Course Representatives are undergraduate (UG) or postgraduate taught (PGT) volunteers who give their time to represent and empower the students on their courses to shape the student experience not only in the current academic year, but evoking change for years to come.

If you would like to become a Course Representative in your area of study, please contact your Course Director to let them know, and they can ensure that you are registered through your Course Administrator.

PGR Representatives

If you are a Postgraduate Research student studying for your PhD or MRes and your main relationship with the university is as a student, then you may have ideas for how the academic experience for you and your peers could be improved.

The role of PGR Rep is a voluntary position where you'd be in regular contact with other PGR students in your school to collect feedback on their experience. One PGR Rep per school can also attend the School Academic Committee, which takes place 5-6 times per year, to meet with academic staff and discuss the School’s plans for the student experience. PGR Reps are supported in their role by the PGR Academic Representation Assistant, Yata Lengsiriwattanagul.

Global Majority Student Ambassadors

If you are a Global Majority Student with a passion for improving the academic experience of others in your community at Leeds Beckett University, then the ambassador role could be perfect for you! The Global Majority Student Ambassador role is a voluntary role for students who are looking for ways to make a difference to the student experience of others in their community, their courses and their wider School. This could be based on your own personal experience that has spurred you to want to make change, or a collective experience of others.

One Global Majority Student Ambassador per school can also attend the School Academic Committee, which takes place approximately 5-6 times per year, to meet with academic staff and discuss the School’s plans in terms of the student experience. Those who attend will be provided a full briefing ahead of meeting to review the papers and topics to be discussed.

SARA's

LBSU’s Student Academic Representation Assistants (SARAs) are students who work part-time to actively listen to students from all areas of the university with the aim of empowering them to make measurable improvements to the academic experience. Their work may be based within individual Schools, across disciplines, or focused on a cross-university issue depending on the task or project at hand.

As well as being leaders and supporting the activity of our Course Reps, the SARAs are also your peers, understanding the unique challenges and experiences of studying at Leeds Beckett. Get in touch with this year’s team to chat with us about your academic experience
