At Bristol we have over 800 student representatives who are here to represent your academic interests and make sure you’re getting the most from your education. Academic Reps are the elected students who represent their cohorts on academic issues to the University and help make positive change to improve the student experience.

Faculty Reps
Faculty Reps represent the issues and priorities of students in their faculty to staff at both faculty and university level. They do this by gathering feedback from Course Reps and other students, chairing Faculty Student Staff Liaison Committee meetings, joining Bristol SU’s Student Representatives' Assembly alongside SU democratic events and some Faculty Reps also represent students at University committees like Senate.
