What is a Research Rep?
A Research Rep is someone who represents the views of their peers from their Research Centres. But why should you be one? Being a Rep can be a highly rewarding experience during your PGR journey, you can bring about positive change to your Research centre, build on the existing employability skills you'll be gaining and truly shape the student experience for PGRs and so much more!
We don't limit the number of people who can apply; therefore, you will automatically be accepted for the role. We will contact you over the coming days to complete training for the role. Please note that you will not be confirmed as a Research Rep until your training has been completed. To apply simply click the button below
Don't just listen to us, here is Kirsty Harrod, your PGR Officer, with why you should apply to be a Research Rep
'Being a PGR rep allows you to make real changes in the University. The role is easy - you just chat with other PGRs in your research centre and bring their ideas, issues, and feedback to quarterly meetings with other reps and the most influential people in the University. By coming together to tackle issues, we can make PGR's life better for everyone. Sign up below or email your PGR Officer at ae0112@coventry.ac.uk if you have any questions.'
