The Students Association elections are a chance for any student to get involved in how the Students Association is run, either through voting or standing for a position. If you have time to get involved, there are several positions available. Elections are a chance for any student to nominate themselves for a vacant position and for students to then vote for their preferred candidate to represent them.
If you would like to be involved but don’t feel you have the time to commit to one of these roles, you can still have your say by using your vote! The Students Association also has several volunteer opportunities throughout the year with varied time commitments, if you need more flexibility but would like to meet fellow students, help your peers and/or gain skills.
All the roles have a specific set of responsiblities and remits for the successful candidates to follow. Please look at the specific remit of a role before nominating yourself, to make sure the role is right for you.
The vacant roles are:
Presidential, Council and Trustee Roles
Vice President Roles
Area Rep Roles
Faculty Rep Roles
The full elections are held every two years, as those who are elected will be in their roles for two years.
Nominations for positions open on Tuesday 22 March and close Tuesday 5 April. If you wish to stand for a election for any other the vacant positions, you will need to submit your application and manifesto during this time period.
To apply, you must submit an application online via the Students Association, where you can find futher information on the elections and on applying
