•As a student, you have the ability to influence your education, for example through course evaluations or by getting involved in the student union.
•An important task of universities and university colleges is providing an organisation in which students can take an active role in improving and further developing education and the educational experience. Students must be represented in, and influence decisions through, the university's decision-making and planning bodies. These bodies can vary from university to university.
•If you're unhappy with something, you should take your complaint first to the person responsible for the course or programme at your department in an attempt to try and solve the problem. If this doesn't give a positive result, you can go to the director of studies, department head or vice-chancellor. You can also contact the student union for help or advice on how you should proceed.
•Student unions' biggest task is to represent the students at their university or university college. It is often student union representatives that are found in the governing board and other boards. Being a member in a student union is not required.
