After a rep has been elected or appointed, you will be able to find them on the Find My Rep page.

All prospective and elected Reps must read and understand the Volunteer Agreement. Even if you've been a Rep before, you must look at this again as there have been updates.

How many Reps are there?

This number will vary depending on exactly how many students there are and which courses are running.

Programme Reps are the largest group. If all the roles are filled, there would be:

One Rep per foundation group
One Rep per 50 undergraduate students per year of study
One Rep per Master's programme (two reps for very large courses)
One MPhil Rep per department
One PhD Rep per department.

For Department Reps, once elected there are three reps per department (one undergraduate, one Master's, and one research student).

The figures below are estimates based on data from 4th October 2023.

Total Programme Rep Vacancies: 187

Total Department Rep Vacancies: 30 (there are 10 departments)

Breakdown for Undergraduate Programme Reps

These figures do not include the Foundation College Reps.
