Student Representation

Academic Rep Recruitment is open! Becoming an Academic Rep is the perfect way to get more involved in making change, whether that be in your School, in the Students' Union, or in the wider world. 

Academic Reps work with other students to make your education better. You’ll help improve your experience at Sheffield, gaining the communication, research, and critical thinking skills needed to make change for everyone. You’ll meet students and staff from across your course and beyond, being part of a team that makes real change. Academic Reps work with other students to make your education better. 

As a Rep you’ll receive training in all the changemaking skills you need, from public speaking to inclusive leadership. Sign up on the Sheffield Students' Union Academic Reps webpage. 

Within the School of Psychology at PGT level, each semester a Student Staff Committee (SSC) meeting is held with the Academic Reps, Programme Leads and the PGT Student Support Officer. One of the main responsibilities of the Reps is to bring any issues raised by the cohort to the attention of the committee during these meetings, so please communicate with your Reps to alert us to any issues and to help influence the continuing development of your course.
