We have created five Student Networks to enable you to meet other students, share advice or organise meet-ups. We’ll also use the Networks to let you know about relevant events or campaigns that you might want to get involved in. The SRC Student Networks are open to all University of Glasgow students whether full-time, part-time or distance learners.
All of the Facebook Groups are “closed” which means no one can see that you are a member of the group unless they are also a member.
Below is more information about the networks and the student representatives on Council you can contact for support. More reps will be added after our Autumn Elections.
The Networks
Home Students’ Network: for students who live “at home” and commute to University including mature students living in their own homes.
