You worked incredibly hard to be a part of the Munster Technological University community and it is my responsibility to ensure you are provided with every opportunity and the right tools to achieve your full potential. Also that your MTU Experience is a happy, healthy and safe one!
Become a Class Rep
Class Reps play a vital role within our University and the wider community. As Class Reps you play a crucial role in the decision-making process, enhancing your fellow students’ experience socially and academically and you have the opportunity to influence the wider community.
Some skills you will obtain during your time as a Class Rep are:
• Organisational skills • Problem solving • Leadership • Communication and negotiation skills • Time management • Public speaking and so much more!
Furthermore as a Class Rep you could enhance your personal CV and stand out during your job interviews. MTU Cork Students’ Union provides training and support to all Class Reps. MTU is without a doubt well known for an incredibly strong sense of community and student engagement is one of our top priorities. With smaller size classes and labs, students and staff are able to develop positive working relationships, which generate a unique academic experience. So as you embark on your academic journey in MTU, get involved and take PRIDE in knowing you are leaving with a valuable qualification. I want to wish you the very best of luck in your year ahead here in MTU and I look forward to meeting you all!
