Student 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 Student Voice Reps? //

A Student Voice Representative at Keele SU gathers feedback from peers throughout the year, reaching out in person, via email, or on social media. They attend meetings with academic and administrative staff to discuss any issues raised.

If you have academic concerns, you can approach your Student Voice Representatives, who will relay these to schools to improve the quality of your education. Sharing your experiences ensures your student voice is heard and drives positive change.

Voice Rep Handbook

What are Student Voice Representatives able to help me with?

Some of the issues SVRs 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 Student 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.
