"The Student Leaders Programme is for those who seek a challenge at University, but also want to meet new people, learn new skills, and above all,

have fun," Gemma, Class Rep

The Student Leaders Programme, is designed to give you something extra for your involvement in the Students' Association and the University.  Any student that is involved in the activities below can join the Student Leaders Programme to allow you to further develop your skills, and your CV!

"As Principal, I am fully supportive of the Student Leaders’ Programme. I believe that our student leaders benefit greatly from their engagement with communities and civic society, andthe leadership qualities they develop as part of this innovative programme will stand them in good stead after graduation as they grow in their careers and personal lives as global citizens. Through the commitment of the Students’ Association, the Student Leaders’ Programme has grown from strength to strength in recent years, and I would like to express my congratulations to all of our Student Leaders who are fine ambassadors for our University."

Enterprise Rent-a-Car recognise the benefits of the Student Leaders Programme as Mark Darley, Group Recruiting Manager comments:                         

 "At Enterprise Rent-a-Car we promote from within, so it is even more important for an organisation like ours to hire the right people in to our management trainee program. The goal of our graduate program is to develop our future managers; therefore, it is imperative that we hire graduates with strong communication and leadership skills. That is why we see great value in Glasgow Caledonian's Student Leaders Programme and are very much attracted to the students that complete programmes of this nature. "

We are delighted to announce that the Department of Development and Alumni Relations will be a sponsor of this year's Programme.
