1,658 of you made your voices heard, and have voted to change the structure of our Officer team, for the first time in over a decade!

  • SU President

  • Education Officer

  • Activities & Development Officer

  • Wellbeing & Sports Officer

SU Officers are paid a salary to work full time for one year, making sure that our 30,000 students are heard and have what they need to learn and thrive whilst at University.

Elections will also take place later in the year for a number of Part Time Officer positions, paid roles which will be held by current students. Look out for more information on these elections later on this semester!
