How to Have Your Say

How the SU can empower you to shape the communities they are part of. Whether it's academic or general student experience issues, student voice is important to us.

Think The SU should have a stance on a particular issue?

If there is an issue you think impacts the student experience which The SU doesn't already have a stance on, you can submit a 'standpoint proposal' to our SUmmit committee made up of student leaders. Approved standpoints inform The SU's stance on a given topic and in turn shape the work of our SU Officers.

Standpoints

Vote or stand in our elections

It is important to students that The SU is student-led and democratic. To help achieve that, throughout the year there are many opportunities for you to stand in elections and vote for representatives and a whole variety of student leaders. All of The SU's activities are student-led, from our sport and society committees to our Academic Reps, and even our Officers who act as trustees. 

Our Elections
