Student Representatives

Why Become a Student Representative?

We are constantly reviewing and developing our programs, and as a student, your feedback is invaluable.

Becoming a Student Representative gives you the chance to directly influence how courses are run. You will see firsthand how feedback is listened to and acted upon. This role allows you to voice concerns and suggestions from your peers, presenting them to senior management at Diploma MSc to help bring about real change and improvement.

What is Expected of Me in the Role?

As a Student Representative, you will represent the views of your peers on academic issues and the wider student experience. You will act as the communication link between students and academic staff, ensuring that students' voices are heard and that positive changes are made based on feedback.

How Do I Become a Student Representative?

We begin recruiting Student Representatives during the first two modules of each new cohort. If there are multiple applicants, we will hold an election via our Moodle platform. Prior to the election, we will collect candidate information and share it with your peers. At the end of the week, a vote will take place, and the candidate with the most votes will be elected as the Student Representative.

Once the Student Rep Team is confirmed, we will arrange an initial meeting, which will be attended by all reps and the Quality & Partner Collaborations Team. During this meeting, we will discuss upcoming events, outline how future meetings will take place, and provide additional training. Following this, regular meetings will likely be held online through a dedicated discussion forum on the student rep pages of Moodle.
