Student Academic Representatives from each year are elected early in the Autumn Term to represent the views of their peers at their departmental Programmes Forum.
There is one Programmes Forum for undergraduate students and one Programmes Forum each for taught and research post graduate students. Each Programmes Forum meets once in the Autumn and Winter terms, and they are chaired by the Departmental Tutor (UG), jointly chaired by a student rep and the Deputy Head of Department for Teaching (PGT), or the Director of the Doctoral Programme (PGR).
Student representatives from each Programmes Forum are also asked to nominate a representative(s) to attend Department Teaching Committee meetings, to ensure that the student voice is heard at faculty level.
