Voice Reps

Student Voice Representatives provide academic representation to ensure you have your say in the quality of education you receive. Any student can apply to be a Voice Rep.

What are Voice Reps? //

Voice Representatives at Keele SU play a vital role in making sure students are heard. 💬
They collect feedback from their peers throughout the year — whether it’s in person, by email, or on social media  — and raise it in meetings with academic and administrative staff.

This helps shape decisions around:

  • 📚 Teaching
  • 🧠 Learning
  • 🏫 The wider student experience

🙋‍♀️ Got concerns or suggestions about your course?
Your Voice Reps are here to listen and pass your feedback on to the right people. ✅

By sharing your experiences, you help ensure the student voice drives real change across the University. 🌟

Voice Rep Handbook

What are Voice Representatives able to help me with?

Some of the issues Voice Reps have helped to resolve in the past include problems with resources (for example, not enough books in the library for a module), unsuitable teaching rooms, online resources, confusing teaching styles or assessment feedback, and ideas for curriculum development.

Don't forget positive feedback! If there is something you love about your course, tell your Voice Representative so they can tell the School!

If you have an individual issue or complaint that should not be brought up in a meeting with staff and students, you can contact ASK at Keele SU. ASK can help with a range of issues from academic appeals, complaints, health, immigration, housing, family, legal and financial issues.
