Become an Imperial Council member!

The Council holds the most senior leadership to account for their running of the university, and is made up of very impressive people with specific areas of expertise. They scrutinise everything from the finances to the estate to the strategic direction of Imperial.

Heard of Science for Humanity or the purchase of the Victoria Industrial Estate? The Council signed off on those. YOU could be a decision maker on the Council.

If you have a passion for representing the student body and a keen interest in how Imperial runs, then you should 100% throw your hat in the ring to be the next student member on the Council.

You will be joining the President of Imperial College Union and will be the student voice in a room full of decision makers. This role has not only a huge scope for a big impact, but will also equip you with key skills of being a board member and how to be strategic.

Having been on the Council for almost two years now, I can wholeheartedly say it is an invaluable opportunity that I wish I could have taken advantage of as a student (before I became President of ICU).

This is the first year that anyone from the student body can apply to be the student representative on Council, and I fully encourage you to make the most of this.

This position is voluntary and there are 5 Council meetings per year. Applications are open now and will close on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries about what this role entails. I look forward to seeing your application!
