Do you want to play a big role in making the education at Lancaster as good as it can possibly be? Then you should stand for election as an academic rep!

Academic Reps are being appointed in all academic departments over the next couple of weeks. Nearly 400 Academic Reps get elected each year to represent the views and opinions of students.

As well as being a vital point of contact between departments and students, reps also get the opportunity to acquire new skills via our Rep Development Scheme, which offers free training sessions as well as experiences in volunteering, report writing, meeting skills, leadership and facilitation.

Departments will be in touch with students to explain arrangements for nominations and voting. This year more than 10 departments will be using new Moodle ‘student-only’ spaces to appoint their reps. They are:

Accounting & Finance	UG
Department of Management Science	UG
English and Creative Writing	UG and PGT
Entrepreneurship, Strategy & Innovation	UG
History	UG
Law	UG
LUMS UG Consortial programmes (Business Studies, BBA Management, Management and European Languages and BBA International Courses)	UG
Physics	UG
Psychology	part 1 only
Biological and Life Sciences	PGT only

All officially appointed reps need to register on the rep database at lusu.co.uk/reps
