You are at the heart of what we do. We have an active course community that runs on student particpation.

Students’ Union (SU)

SU are an independent, student-led organisation that represents your needs, protects your rights and, when it comes to making important decisions that affect you, makes sure your voice is heard. As a University of Nottingham student, you’re already a valued and celebrated member of the SU.   

From its home in the Portland Building, the SU works hard to make sure your university experience is the best it can be, from the day you arrive to the day you graduate. They’re here to make sure that you can experience a huge range of social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities, make changes by standing up for what you believe in, and find support when you need a helping hand. 

Representation – get involved, represent you peers and make your voice heard.

Natural Sciences Student Feedback Forum

The Student Feedback Forum meets four times a year and provides an opportunity for students to feed back about the course and any issues they are having. The Student Feedback Forum is chaired by the Natural Sciences senior course rep and consists of course reps for each academic year, NatSci Soc President, Peer Mentor Leader, subject advisors from the core schools and course staff. The Student Feedback Forum allows students to directly participate in how their course is run and how it develops over time by making suggestions for change and working with staff to create solutions to issues.

Become a course rep

Course reps are a vital part of the student voice. Through gathering feedback from your peers, attending key meetings and campaigning for positive change, you can make a real difference to the academic experience of those on your course.
