Representation

Student Executive Officers

The Student Executive Officers are elected by students to represent your academic interests at the very top level. They act as the key link to the University Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor Student Experience and Academic Standards as well as other key stakeholders.

The role of the President includes acting as the chair of the Board of Trustees, along with being responsible for the financial position and performance of the Students' Union.

The role of the Vice-President is to represent the students and make sure that their voice and opinions are heard. The Vice-President is here to help out with anything that students may need during the year. Whether it is support or advice with education and welfare matters to helping you setting up societies, so pop into the office any time for chat.

Hey! I’m Liam – your Education Officer. My job is to make sure your education experience at Warwick is the best it can possibly be.

Day-to-day, I attend University meetings to ensure that the student voice gets heard loud and clear, and that your interests are at the centre of everything the University does. This academic representation is vital, so I support and collaborate with your fantastic Course Reps and Part-Time Officers (both of which you should definitely get involved with!) to achieve real, positive change.

Throughout the year, you can expect campaigns headed by me tackling the biggest education issues facing you at Warwick and beyond, be they additional course costs, cuts to funding, poor welfare provision and much more. If you have any issues or questions, please get in touch with me. I’m here to work for you!

Hi! My name’s Jon Nottingham, and I am your Students’ Union Vice President for 2018/19!

Four years ago, I was leaving home in Worcester, arriving at Cardiff for the next few years of my life at University. I can still remember that feeling of nervousness and excitement to get started! After that I got involved in so many areas of my course, sport, extra-curricular activities I made a new family at Cardiff Met and learnt so much.

At The Students’ Union, our job is to help and support you in all areas of life at Cardiff Met, come to see us if you need advice & support, information about joining clubs & societies, help finding jobs, or just want to buy a coffee!

Please feel free to drop in to SU offices to have a chat!

 

What are my priorities?

  • To represent and provide a voice to all students here at Cardiff Met
  • Support and advise students wherever possible to ensure they have the best possible experience here!
  • Continue the great work currently being done to build a supportive environment where everyone has the ability to thrive!Milk

 

School Reps

School Reps are appointed by the Students’ Union as the figurehead rep for each school. It is their responsibility to recruit and manage the rep structure within the school and to act as a link between the school and SU. They represent students at school and university level.

 

Part-Time Officers

Part time officers are employed by the Students' Union and have specific roles that deal with the following areas; Equality & Diversity, Health & Wellbeing, Welsh Language (Yr Iaith Gymraeg), International Students, Events & Activities and Communications. Click on one of the pictures to find out more about their specific roles.

Lead Reps

Lead Reps are recruited by the School Rep. They are the figurehead for either a whole year group or a department, this is dependant on the structure of the school. Lead Reps support the School Rep to manage the rep team and represent the student voice at year/department level.

Course Reps

Course Reps are chosen by their peers, the election process is facilitated jointly between the School Rep and academic staff. In order to effectively represent each class a guideline ratio of reps to class size has been set. 1 for classes of 10 or less. 2 for classes up to 100. 3 for 100 – 150 and 4 for 150+. School Reps will work with Programme Directors using these guidelines.

Group Reps

For some cohorts the School Rep and academic staff will opt to add this additional layer of representation. Group reps represent a seminar/tutor group. They are chosen by their peers, and gather feedback at group level to pass onto the Course Rep to be represented at programme level. These may be used where large cohorts are taught separately in smaller groups.
