Lead Student Rep (LSR)
The LSR represents all HE students via the HE
student representative system. The LSR takes
feedback from student reps and then actively works
to represent student views at senior level forums
with the College. The LSR also leads of developing
opportunities to enhance the student experience.
You can contact the LSR by emailing
LSR@bridgwater.ac.uk. Or if you would like more
information about becoming the LSR please email
HE@bridgwater.ac.uk
Student Reps
Each course is required to have a student
representative who represents their cohort and
expresses the feelings and opinions of both their peers
and themselves in relation to how courses run and
operate. Students have the opportunity to represent
their programme in regular meetings with members
of the Senior Management Team and relevant staff
involved in the delivery and promotion of higher
education at the College. It is your opportunity to
voice the opinion of the students to staff, those who
could implement changes and be involved in a two
way discussion.
Student Union
Everyone enrolled at Bridgwater College becomes
part of the Bridgwater College Student Union
(BCSU), which plays a key role in college life (you can
choose to opt out if you wish).
The Union is run by an elected committee who
organise social and fundraising events as well as
making sure learners have a voice and it is heard.
The Union encourages a diverse range of students to
participate in these activities and strive to raise money
for local and international charities.
The BCSU is affiliated to the National Union of
Students. This means that they have support from
a national organisation to help with campaigns and
student issues as well as giving you access to the NUS
Extra discount card, which can be purchased from
BCSU. This card entitles you to various discounts on
high street shops, restaurants and online. If you would
like one of these cards then please visit BCSU which is
located next to the common room at the Bridgwater
site.

‘THE STUDENTVOICE’
The impact of the student voice is significant upon improving the experience for students. For example due to
student feedback improvements have been made to the student representative training and opportunities for social
activities including a Christmas Ball for the first time in 2014 and the introduction of HE Student Conference in 2015.
Plans are, largely due to the student voice, underway to provide a dedicated centre for HE students so they can
study and learn together as a community.
Surveys
As a HE student you will be asked by the College, University and external organisations responsible for quality in HE
nationally, about your experiences. This is a key part of being a HE student as you have the opportunity to work
in partnership with the College and University by giving feedback regularly. By doing so you can help improve the
experience for yourself and others in the future.
We will ask you to complete relevant surveys including The National Student Survey (NSS), Bridgwater College’s
HE Student Survey and those from the university to which you are affiliated (if applicable). All of the Staff here
take feedback in to consideration, you can talk to your tutor by email or in meetings together but if you want to
say something confidential you can also email HE@bridgwater.ac.uk where all emails are treated with the up most
confidentiality.
