The Student Council is a forum that meets twice each term and is designed to help change and improve life at college. Student Representatives attend meetings and represent their fellow students. Students take part in discussions on issues that affect them and as a group decide how to progress their views. This may involve doing some research or contacting staff at the College. Students are also encouraged to look at the student intranet and to submit any articles they would like to see on it.

The College's Student Intranet has a Student Council page with information on any events that are being organised or reviews of activities that have taken place. It also has information on the progress by MK College on any issues that have been raised by the student council.
