Introduction

Subject Chairs are senior academic representatives, representing all students studying in their subject area, supporting their fellow course reps and academic staff with the delivery of Student Voice Activity in their department and attending Student Voice Action Plan Review Meetings. Subject chairs work closely with the reps within their department to ensure that student feedback is actioned and all students within their subject area are aware of the positive changes being made. 

This is a voluntary role, open to on-campus undergraduate students at Falmouth University who are returning to their studies in September 2026.
