Words from previous Programme Reps....
"Becoming a Programme rep benefits you in so many ways. Not only are you kept informed of what is going on in the university, there are Programmes which help you with time management, negotiation skills and many others..."
"The Students' Union staff are friendly and extremely helpful..."
"Being a Programme rep is a great way to make contact in your own Programme as well as meeting people from other Programmes."
"During my term as a Programme rep I have gained many new skills and extended others."
"The students on my Programme know who I am and that I am there to represent them. They also know that I am a reliable source of information and that if I cannot answer their questions that I can pass them on to someone who can."
"My role as a Programme rep involved making myself available to listen to people's concerns and worries about the Programme they were on, their accommodation and other aspects of student life.....I would then collate the information and present it to the staff at the Programme meetings ....We would discuss the problems and attempt to resolve them ....I would then report the outcome to my fellow students."
