Take a look inside
► Faculty Reps
All courses at the University are housed in a faculty. A faculty broadly covers lots of courses in a certain area or subject, ie the Business school, this will accommodate all the subjects related to Business. At Bedfordshire there are 4 faculties, CATS-Creative Arts, Technologies and Science, BS, Business School, EST, Education, Sport and Tourism and HSS, Health and Social Sciences.
A faculty rep speaks up for students at the faculty level.
We need 5 reps for each faculty, with a need for both post and undergraduate representation.
Skills - Public Speaking, negotiation, advocacy, decision making, organisation skills, team work, meeting and committee skills, problem solving, leadership, communication skills, presenting skills, time management, self management. All things to look great on your CV!
You will need to run in the by-elections process which starts on Monday 17th October. This process is really simple, you download a nomination form or pick one up from the SU and fill it in, give it back before the close of nominations (Tuesday 25th October) and follow the election rules which you’ll be provided with. You write a manifesto about why people should vote for you and then the rest of the student body will vote during voting week.
Any student is eligible to be a rep for their faculty, so if you think you are interested then put yourself forward! Make the difference!
Firstly speak to your course rep and ask them to raise the issues that you have, if they are unable to deal with your issues then contact Rebecca.Heard@beds.ac.uk who will put you in contact with your faculty reps and your VP Education.
