What are the leadership elections?

In Lent Term, we hold the Leadership Elections to elect the incoming Sabbatical Officer Team. Sabbatical Officers are elected to represent students to the University, locally, and nationally. They work full-time as part of the wider Students' Union staff team, intermitting their studies until the next academic year. 

This year we will be electing the following Sabbatical Officer roles: 

  • President (UG)
  • President (PG)
  • Vice President (Education & Widening Participation)
  • Vice President (Student Community & Societies)
  • Vice President (Liberation & Welfare) 

As well as the part-time voluntary position of University Councillor up for election which any student can run for and do alongside their studies. 

We're looking forward to seeing the successful candidates bring focused leadership to key areas of student life.
