Student Reps

Student Reps are here to support you and represent your academic interests!

Every year, students volunteer to become Student Reps to help make your academic experience the best it can be. They listen to feedback from classmates about anything related to your course – what’s working well and what could be better. Then, they share this feedback with staff in the Students’ Union and the University, helping to make positive changes happen. They also support School & Student Community Organisers (SCOs) in making students’ experience at Herts the best that it can be!

Want to be a Student Rep?

If you're looking to become a Student Rep for your course, the best thing to do is to contact your Programme Leader(s) or Year Tutor(s) as they will be able to tell you how the election process will be taking place.

If you have any questions about becoming a Rep, please do get in touch with us at reps@hertssu.com, as we are more than happy to help!

If you're successful in becoming a Student Rep, you'll be invited to attend our Student Rep training. Please scroll down this page to view all of the available Student Rep Training Sessions.

You can view the Student Rep Job Description for the 2026–27 academic year here.

All Student Reps are required to follow the Student Rep Code of Conduct, which can be found here.

Student Rep Recognition

The Student Rep Accreditation Scheme rewards Student Reps for their hard work!

The Student Rep Accreditation Scheme provides a guide for the kind of activities & opportunities you should be engaging with during your time as a Rep. It also gives us a nice opportunity to reward you for excelling in your role! In order to officially become a Rep, you must complete training. Once this has been met, you're encouraged to work towards the Bronze, Silver and Gold awards, where corresponding prizes will also be awarded.
