There are a range of different people that are here to represent you whilst you study at Nottingham Trent University - and, as every one of them is a Trent student just like you, they are best placed to make sure that you are getting everything you want from your university experience.
The Board of Elected Directors (more commonly known as the Exec) are headed up by the SU's President, and are all elected via the annual Exec Elections. There are also six Vice Presidents, who look after various areas within NTSU. These seven positions are all full-time and paid, so that the students filling these roles are able to take a year out from their studies (or immediately after they graduate) to give their undivided attention to running your union.
Also sitting on the Board of Elected Directors are three part-time, unpaid Campus Liaison Officers, who perform their duties of representing the aims and issues of their respective campuses, alongside their studies.
The Student Directorate is made up of twenty-six current NTU students, who represent your views in specific areas, or run student-led services such as our award-winning radio station, Fly FM. The majority of these students are elected through various Annual General Meetings pertaining to their respective departments, and they all go on to carry out their roles on a part-time, unpaid basis alongside their courses.
Course Representatives (and School Representatives) are the grass roots of your course-related representation, and most courses have around three reps per year, per course. Course Representatives should be your first point of contact for any course-related issues you may have.
If you're looking for representation or guidance on any issues relating to the Students' Union, services and programmes provided by the University, or anything relating to student life in Nottingham in general, then the Exec are the best people to get in touch with.
If, however, you need advice or representation in any matters relating to academic conduct, or you are experiencing any problems affecting your studies, please contact our Student Advice Centre. Our knowledgable and experienced Student Advisers can help with virtually any issue you may be facing.
If you have any questions, or would like more information about any of the representative roles at NTSU, please get in touch:
