Student Association
Our Goal
Glasgow Kelvin College Student Association is a democratic autonomous body that’s here to represent your views within the college community and ensure that all students regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, religious beliefs, age or colour are fairly treated and represented.
Our goal is to ensure that students have the best possible experience of their time here. We also help shape and influence the learning and teaching within your course as well as providing a social element to your time at Kelvin.
Your Voice
The Association is there to be your voice and represent all students in a variety of ways:
- Working to improve learning and teaching so that students receive a high quality learning experience
- Creating opportunities to further develop and gain new skills
- Being the hub for clubs and societies that showcase and provide support for all our students
- Offering advice and support so you always have someone to turn to when times are tough
- Campaigning on a number of issues to help enhance the student experience.
The Association represents your views on a variety of committees within the college and regionally and will empower you to help shape and influence the learning and teaching within your course through your class reps and in partnership with the college.
Who We Are
The Student Association Presidents are one full time and one part time sabbatical officers, heading up our Student Association Executive Team, and are elected democratically by the student body to represent all students in all matters relating to the college experience within the classroom and wider working life of the college.
This year’s Presidents are Jon Craig and Nicole Filip, who are based mainly in the Springburn campus.

Nicole Filip
President Learning & Teaching
Hi, I'm Nicole Filip.
I am your President of Learning & Teaching, and I am proud to represent the voice of our students. My role is to listen, support, and work alongside students and staff to help create the best possible learning experience for everyone.
My priorities are:
- Supporting and growing student clubs - I want to support existing student clubs while encouraging students to create new ones. Clubs help students make friends, develop new skills, and become more involved in college life.
I will also be working on continuing my Canva Classes, giving students the opportunity to develop valuable digital and creative skills. Through these sessions, students can learn how to create graphics, presentations, posters and social media content.
- Building a stronger student community - I want to organise events and encourage students from all campuses to get involved in college life. By bringing people together through social, cultural, and educational activities, we can create a more connected and inclusive college community.
- Encouraging personal growth and development - I want to help students build confidence, leadership, communication, and digital skills through workshops, volunteering opportunities, and activities that prepare them for future careers.
- Improving the student experience - I am committed to listening to student feedback and working with college staff to improve learning environments and ensure every student feels heard and supported.
I will be working with students across all campuses and will always be approachable and ready to listen.
Together, we can build a stronger, more creative, and more connected student community at Glasgow Kelvin College.
Whether you have an idea, feedback, or want to get involved, I would love to hear from you.
