The SU is a “democratic organisation which is run by five elected Student Leaders, working full time. The role of the Student Leaders is to represent the student body on various issues, from welfare concerns to academic issues and much more.

“Because we are a democratic organisation, we run elections annually to elect the Student Leaders who will represent you on these issues.

“A number of Volunteer Officer roles are also elected in the SU elections, including Campaign Network Officers, who represent students who identify within their communities, e.g., LGBT+, BAME, etc., and Sports, Societies and Academic Societies Officers to represent all of the different sports and societies.”
