Your voice shapes your education
Academic representation isn't just about collecting feedback, it's a fundamental philosophy that recognizes students as active partners in their education, not passive recipients of knowledge. At Oxford SU, we believe academic representation is a tool of empowerment, a safeguard of rights, and a driver of transformation.
Why this matters: The bigger picture
Academic representation at Oxford SU reflects our fundamental values as a democratic students' union. It's how we live our commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice in education.
-
It's structurally necessary
The University has legal obligations to include student representation in governance (Education Act 1994, Office for Students guidance)
-
It drives all our campaigns
Whether we're pushing for fair assessment, disability support, cost-of-living relief, or inclusive curricula, academic representation provides our insight and our channel for action.
-
It connects us with you
Every policy report we write, every recommendation we make in university committees, starts with students raising concerns through representation structures.
-
We're equal
Academic representation ensures that Oxford's governance isn't just about students, it's with students, as equal partners in shaping one of the world's leading universities.
