University representation
Representing your views to the University
There are lots of groups and committees in the University where decisions are made that affect how you live and work in Cambridge. CUSU representatives, who are elected by students, attend these meetings, voice your opinions and influence decisions.
The University's structure
The administrative structure of the University has evolved over time into a sysem of labyrinthine complexity which can be daunting to those encountering it for the first time. For those who may want something done, or something changed in the university, knowing where to start can be a problem.
The University has published The Way it Works, a guide to the university's administrative structure, published by the University Offices.
For more information on navigating University Bureaucracy contact the President.
