Your Voice

Our mission is to make life better for students at Bucks and campaigning for change is a big part of that. We campaign on a range of issues that affect students both on campus and in the wider community.

It’s not all posters and placards, and we aim to make sure that as many students as possible can get involved in campaigns. It's a lot easier to get going in campaigning than you might think - and we have a range of officers and staff who are here to support you in making a positive change for students. If you'd like to run a campaign, download our campaign form to get started.

Alongside our student and Union led campaigns, we're here to ensure that you are getting the most out of your academic experience and provide the opportunity to initiate change through our representation team. 

At the forefront of this are student reps. We have a network of over 250 student reps, providing a credible student voice to feed back to the University. Student reps have the ability to instigate change, minimise miscommunication between staff and students, ensure that assumptions are not made about the student experience and improve their course for future years. Get involved to make change happen! You can be rewarded up to £100 for being a rep, so why not nominate yourself today?

A step up from student rep we have School Officers. School Officers oversee the student reps across several courses in their school and look for common themes across the years and courses. They are required to attend Education Forum to deliver this feedback. Our School Officers are rewarded up to £350 for the work that they complete. There are seven schools at Buckinghamshire New University: Art, Design & Performance, Aviation & Security, Business & Law, Creative & Digital Industries, Health & Social Care Professions, Human & Social Sciences, and Nursing & Midwifery.

In addition we have created a network of Executive Officers, who work to ensure underrepresented groups at BNU still have the opportunity to express views and concerns. This is operated by rewarded officer roles: Women Students' Executive Officer, LGBTQ+ Students' Executive Officer, BAME Students' Executive Officer, Students with Disabilities Executive Officer, Part-Time and Commuting Students' Executive Officer, Mature Students' Executive Officer, Postgraduate Students' Executive Officer, and International Students' Executive Officer. Our Executive Officers are rewarded up to £350 for the work that they complete

Finally, leading the Union are your Sabbatical Officers. Elected by you, they are dedicated to improving your student experience at Bucks. They are passionate, hardworking, and ready to get involved in making life better for students at Bucks.

If you have any questions that are not answered by the opportunity profiles then please contact surepresentation@bnu.ac.uk or come into our offices and have a chat. We can be found on the ground floor of North Wing in High Wycombe or in UX1.03 in Uxbridge.
