We know how valuable being a Course Rep is here at Queen Mary Students’ Union, so we have some incredible awards to reward and recognise all the hard work you put in.
All Course Reps will have access to some fun networking and drop in opportunities throughout the year.
Course Rep of the Month (CROTM)
Course Rep of the Month is an award given to recognise our course reps who have been proactive in representing the student body.

- Evidence of being proactive and taking initiative.
- Evidence of collecting and representing the opinions of all or majority of students that they represent.
