Student rep
Student reps ensure that student concerns, views and opinions are heard and acted upon by the University and the Students Union.
By consulting students about their teaching and learning experience and taking these views to the University, student reps ensure that good things get emulated in other courses/departments/schools and the bad things get changed.
More information on the rep scheme and how to become a student rep can be found on our 'Student rep' pages.
Research ethics
Please visit the research ethics web page for further information.
If your Masters project requires ethical review, you must apply for and receive ethical approval from the Science cluster Research Governance Ethics Committee before you commence. Ask your supervisor for guidance.
