Course Reps are the key link between students, the College and the Students' Union. They are either elected or volunteer to act as the representative for the specific year of their course. Course Reps are instrumental in ensuring the Student Voice is heard at Birkbeck. The Students' Union leads in training and supporting Course Reps across the entire College, and work with the academic departments and professional services to ensure our Reps can make as many positive changes at Birkbeck as possible.
