Glasgow University Students' Representative Council exists to promote the interests of students to the University and beyond, alongside providing a range of support services as well as social and personal development opportunities.
The SRC's aims are grouped under three key headings:
Representation
Support & Well-being
Student Opportunities & Community Engagement
Representation
Council
A team of up to 49 students are elected each year to represent UofG’s 38,000+ student population to the University. The Students’ Representative Council is comprised of academic officers, student welfare officers, general representatives and four sabbatical officers who make up the executive.
Class Reps
Every class will elect at least one class representative to provide feedback on their course and learning experience to the University. With over 1,200 SRC-trained class reps at the University, the system is a great opportunity to influence how courses are shaped and how the University operates.
Campaigns
The SRC campaigns, challenges and lobbies on behalf of our students within the University and at national level. On a huge range of issues, the SRC works to ensure that student interests are at the forefront of decisions made by legislators and policy makers.
Support & Well-being
The Advice Centre
A team of professional advice workers who provide free, confidential advice, information and advocacy on a vast range of subjects including accommodation, academic, well-being, employment and financial issues. The Advice Centre is independent from the University and totally confidential. Check out the advice centre pages or email them advice@src.gla.ac.uk
