Student Representation
The Philosophy Faculty is run by its Faculty Board, which meets twice each term. The permanent Philosophy teaching staff are members and there are also representatives from related faculties (Classics, History & Philosophy of Science, and Psychology). There are also four student members (two undergraduate and two postgraduate), who are elected in the middle of each Michaelmas Term. They are known as the Student Reps or Academic Reps.
Elections for student reps are administered centrally by the Cambridge Student Union. More information on the elections can be found here. The Reps are your direct link to the official running of the Faculty. If you have any views or queries, please discuss them with your reps first: they can decide whether to take the matter further, either to the Student-Staff Committee (see below) or to the Faculty Board itself.
The current Student Members on the Faculty Board are:
- tbc
- Eli Bertuccioli (Part II)
- MPhil tbc
The reps can be reached on phil-studentreps@lists.cam.ac.uk
The current student representatives of the Council of the School of Arts and Humanities are:
- Undergraduate rep: tbc
- Postgraduate rep: Andrew Ma
Student-Staff Committee
All philosophy students are automatically members of the Faculty's Student-Staff Committee. It is hoped that at least two representatives from each year group (including postgraduates) will regularly attend. The Committee usually meets once a term, between meetings of the Faculty Board, to consider matters referred to it by the Board, or raised by its members.
