► Student Representation

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

The Students' Association of the University of the West of Scotland (SAUWS) is run by students for students and is only is good as the input from its members, YOU!

SAUWS is your representative body whilst  you are at University and represents you in a number of ways.  But we're are also here to help you represent yourself.

Student Representation within SAUWS

Board of Trustees are students who have been elected by their peers to run the Students' Association.  They are responsible for the day to day running of the Association.

Students' Council is the decision making body of the Association.  It is also a forum for students at UWS to voice their opinions and raise concerns and is where students can make decisions about the direction of the Students' Association and the University.

Student Representation within UWS

Students are represented on academic committees at every level throughout the institution.  All degree programmes elect student representatives to provide the University with relevent feed back and ensure that the student perspective is at the top of the University agenda.

The Students' Association works closely with the Quality Enhancement Unit within the University to ensure that the student representation system at UWS is as effective as possible.
