Student governance

SRC members represent students on the College's two statutory structures: the College Council and the Academic Board.

Leadership development helps student leaders build the support and skills to lead well. It takes a hands-on approach, grounded in theory, that values student leaders as an integral part of the College's governing structures. SRC programmes include campus and College SRC elections and induction programmes.
