Student Representation at GCU

The mission of the Students' Association is to represent and enable students to enhance all aspects of their student experience.

In order to do this student representation takes place in a number of different ways.

The Students' Association is run by nine students elected every year on to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee are the trustees of the organisation and make all decisions regarding the strategic direction and day to day operations of the Students' Association.

Within GCU, student representatives sit on more or less every committee across the University. From class reps on SSCG, Programme Board Reps, School Reps, to Senate and University Court. The Students' Association supports all reps at all levels within the University. We also run a Student Summit and Caledonian Conference. 

On a national level the Students' Association is affiliated to the National Union of Students (NUS) which lobbies and campaigns for students at a Scottish and UK level.
