17.4. Representation

Your Voice Matters at CCLS and Queen Mary

We value your feedback and ideas for improvement. There are several ways you can share your views and help shape your experience—and that of future students.

One key opportunity is to become a Course Representative, elected by fellow students. Course Reps speak on behalf of the student body at School, Faculty, and University-wide levels through various committees, groups, and meetings.

Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey (PTES)

The PTES is conducted annually and gives postgraduate taught students the opportunity to share what they value about their time at Queen Mary—and what could be improved. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us enhance the student experience for future cohorts.
