Got an idea that would improve your time at Middlesex? Want to get to know everyone on your course? Wondering how to improve your employability? Become a Student Voice Leader!

 

There is one Student Voice Leader for each year of each course at Middlesex. They campaign on behalf of their coursemates, listening to their ideas and problems then working with university staff to make changes at Middlesex that students want to see. Click here for a short video where last year’s Student Voice Leaders explain their job for you.

 

As a Student Voice Leader, you’ll develop your communication, leadership and project management skills, boost your confidence, and gain plenty of experience to drop in at job interviews. More than that, you’ll also have the chance to make a real difference at Middlesex!

 

Who can become a Student Voice Leader?

The opportunity is open to all students, whether you’re a first year or a final year, a postgrad or an international student. No experience is necessary - MDXSU will give you all the training and support you need.

 

How much time will it require?

It’s a very flexible, and how much time you commit is dependent on you. Your main responsibilities are spending time getting feedback from your coursemates – whether in person, online or however works best for you - and attending one Boards of Studies meeting and one Student Voice Conference per term.


How do I apply?
You can nominate yourself online until Sunday 18th October, just head to www.mdxsu.com/student-voiceand click on the link to nominate yourself. If more than one person nominates themselves for your course, your classmates will vote to decide who gets elected – MDXSU will give you plenty of tips for how to encourage people to vote for you! Voting is open from Monday 26th until Friday 30th October – have your say online at www.mdxsu.com
