Academic Rep Elections & SU Referendum

This term, we are running two important democratic processes: the Academic Rep Elections and an SU Referendum.

The Academic Rep Elections give you the opportunity to decide who will represent you on academic issues to the University. There are two types of Academic Rep: subject level and school level. These are voluntary roles.

107 posts are up for election.

Academic Rep Elections

Every course and faculty has elected Academic Representatives who speak up for students views on teaching, learning, and assessments. By standing or voting in these elections, you can help shape how your course is run and make sure the student voice is heard where decisions are made.

SU Referendum

Alongside the elections, students will also be asked to vote in an SU Referendum. A referendum gives all members the chance to have a direct say on key issues that affect the Union and its work. The exact referendum questions will be announced soon — and every student will get the chance to cast their vote and be part of a Yes or No Campaign.

Why Get Involved?

Whether it’s improving your course, influencing University policy, or having your say on the Union’s future direction, these elections and the referendum are your opportunity to make change happen at Cambridge.
