If you are an undergraduate student, each module will have one or more students who volunteer to be the representative for that module. This person will work closely with the module coordinator to make sure that the module is running smoothly, so if you have any issues with a specific module, your module rep is a great first point of contact. You can find the module reps listed on the module’s Canvas page.

The module reps and programme reps will be supported by the faculty officers who work very closely with the faculty staff. At the undergraduate level, each division will have their own faculty officer. At the postgraduate level, each faculty will have an officer for postgraduate taught and postgraduate research students. If you are having any issues with your division or faculty more generally, or have a concern that affects more than just one module, the faculty officer may be a good contact point.

If you are having any more personal challenges, we can provide professional, non-judgmental, confidential, one to one, support, guidance and advocacy that is independent of the University. It is free of charge and can be accessed by inquiring through the Union email (theunion@stir.ac.uk). We can assist with exploring options for course changes, extenuating circumstances, appeals, complaints, disciplinary matters, academic misconduct and the rights of our students within the University, supporting students on professional programmes and more. We can signpost to appropriate services in and out of the University and other representation within the Union. We will always be there for ALL our students!
