At Teesside University Students' Union, we provide services, spaces and support for everyone completing a Teesside University course. No matter where you are based, we're here for you.
Your student officers
Teesside University Students' Union is led by a team of student officers that you vote for as part of our student body in March every year. The officers serve for at least 12 months from July and work full-time. They represent all students to the most senior figures at the University including the Board of Governors and Vice-Chancellor.
They also make sure that Teesside University Students' Union is democratic, transparent and student focused. And they lead a range of campaigns tackling issues including student wellbeing, academic issues, cost of living and accommodation.
They're your representatives too.

Your student course and School representatives
The course and School reps are here to represent your academic interests and ensure that you have a positive experience while you're studying at Teesside University London. They are volunteers and work closely with Students' Union Student Support and student officers.
It's really important to us that your voice is heard. , The reps are here to make sure that the right people in the University get to hear your feedback so that positive changes can be made together. They can deal with feedback from course reps that may need raising at a higher level or liaise with senior academic staff to address any academic issues.
At the start of each academic year, you elect your course reps to deal with any issues that may come up at course level, or to communicate any positive feedback to members of staff.
