Hi @Sparklygreentea

I was offered the opportunity to become an Official Rep as part of my job as a Student Ambassador at Lancaster through the university itself, initially I was brought on over Clearing 2022, and then I was asked to stay on by the team at Lancaster and I've been working here since.

I'd recommend looking into ambassador roles at Glasgow and seeing if you can become a TSR Rep through that? You could always provide advice without being an Official Rep as well, I'm sure prospective students would be really happy to hear anything you could share!

Hello,

As mentioned previously, I was also offered this role through the ambassador programme at the University of Leicester shortly following a promotion I got. If doing this kind of thing is of interest you should look into any ambassadors schemes which your University has. For me I love my role as student ambassador because it is so varied and no shift is the same.

If you have any further questions please do let me know.

This would be something to discuss with your university, for mine (as the other reps have said), you need to be a student ambassador to become an official rep for TSR, then there’s the option to say yep I want to be an official rep. @UofG Student Rep might be able to provide some clarification on how it works for Glasgow?

However the student room also has volunteer program where you can apply to volunteer for the student room:

You won’t become an official rep here however, it can be another way to help out if you’re interested. You’d probably also need to meet the requirements that’s listed in the link above and in your case, seeing as you’re looking to help others students for the university of glasgow, the universities forum would probably be the forum of interest to you.


Hope this helps.

I suspect that the "Official Rep" thing is part of a commercial partnership between TSR and the organisations concerned. There's more information here: https://tsrmatters.com/product/engagement-official-rep/

I would imagine that anyone badged as an official representative is going to be employed by that organisation -- and in some cases that might be a student employed in a student ambassador type role. But for students, it would almost certainly mean that their university would need to have an agreement with TSR and once that's in place they'd be able to get accounts set up and recognised by TSR as being official reps of their organisation.

Glasgow already has a student rep account so I think that in OP’s case, it’s probably something that they’d need to approach their university about.

Ah, I hadn't spotted that.

But I don’t know how being a rep works at Glasgow specifically so I’ve tagged the rep in hopes that they can explain to the OP, but I suspect that it works the same way all of us have explained.
