Undergraduate Course Reps represent undergraduate students' views on academic issues on every course. Undergraduate Course Reps act as the link between students and the academic staff; ensuring the student voice is being heard and positive changes are being made throughout every school. Becoming an Undergraduate Course Rep is a great way to meet people, develop new skills and to make a real difference during your time here at Reading!

Four Undergraduate Student Voice Members are elected to help direct RUSU’s priorities by debating and amending policy and campaign ideas and holding the Full-time Officers to account.
