Autumn Elections 2025

One of our goals is to support students to be able to effectively influence and advocate for all, by having the resources to support and enhance the wellbeing of students and change the world around them - starting with the student experience.

We have the power to shape our learning, access the support we need to thrive and be able to strengthen and help create active and inclusive student communities. A representative defends the interests of underrepresented student communities, such as within our Liberation Networks and ensures the student voice is heard at the highest level of decision-making.

Nominations for 2025/26 open at 12pm on Monday, 6 October.

Voting will take place from 12pm, Monday 20 October until 2pm, Thursday 23 October.
