Your course needs you! Students are at the heart of BU and the Student Rep system run by SUBU ensures that your voice is heard. We provide full training so you can collect feedback and improve your course! As well as having a positive impact on BU, being a Rep is really fulfilling and develops your personal skills, so what are you waiting for?

Representation

Your Ideas and Union Policy

Do you have an idea for something you think SUBU should start doing? Your idea could be about anything! These ideas are then taken to one of the Unions democratic meetings where a vote is taken on whether to adopt the idea as Policy.
