What is Union Council?

Your peak representative body for Imperial College Union.

Union Council's role is to provide political leadership and to support and scrutinise the Officer Trustees. It does this by passing policies, mandating student leaders to carry out certain actions or campaigns, and holding student leaders accountable. Union Council also has subcommittees to support specific discussion and decision-making.

Union Council meets monthly during term time, and any student of Imperial can attend and propose a topic for discussion.

If you have any questions, ideas or concerns for Imperial students, you can contact the Union Council Chair at chairman@imperial.ac.uk.

Union Council structure

In Union Council, Officer Trustees come together with the leaders of our Constituent UnionsAcademic & Wellbeing Representation Networks, Management Group Chairs and Liberation Teams, as well as elected Undergraduate and Postgraduate representatives of students from every faculty at Imperial.

Your Union Council Chair for 2025/26 is Anthea MacIntosh-LaRocque.
