Course Representation
Our main focus is representing you, we dedicate almost all of our resources to making sure your voice gets heard in the University, that your rights as a student are upheld and you get the most out of your time here.
Every course has an elected Course Representative. The Course Rep is responsible for collecting the views of other students on their course and feeding these views back to the University. Course Reps are an essential link between the University, Students and the Students’ Union and an essential part in ensuring Anglia Ruskin courses are of the highest quality.

Volunteering opportunities
We run the Anglia Ruskin volunteering brokerage service. We find students volunteering placements at a range of organisations in their local community.
By registering online for our volunteering service our Volunteer Coordinators can alert you when a placement becomes available.
Volunteering is a great way to develop skills or explore a passion that may compliment your studies.
