Leadership Elections 2018

Decide your student leaders

Imperial College Union exists to empower students to speak up for themselves and change the world around them. We are a democratic organisation, led by student volunteers and guided by our 18,000+ members - the students of Imperial College London.

The Leadership Elections are your chance to become one of the students who makes the Imperial experience what it is.

What are the Leadership Elections for?

Imperial College Union is a democracy, powered by the dedication, energy and skills of our thousands of volunteers. Every year, 10,000 new students arrive at Imperial College London, and their ideas, energy and talent combine to make the Imperial student experience one of the best in London - if not the world.

Through Imperial College Union, thousands of active students take leadership roles each year. Many students take up volunteer roles alongside their studies, becoming Academic & Wellbeing Representatives, Constituent Union leaders, Liberation & Community Officers, or committee members of our 370+ Clubs, Societies & Projects. Some students participate in our democracy and governance directly, as Student Trustees or Council Chair, speaking for their fellow students at the highest level of decision-making. And each year, seven students are elected to take a year out of their studies to take one of our paid, full-time roles:

The Leadership Elections allow us to capture and make the most of the energy and capabilities of our members, by giving every single one of them a chance to become a leader - and make Imperial even better for their fellow students and all those yet to arrive at Imperial.

The Leadership Elections 2018 include over 700 roles from across Imperial College Union.

When are the Leadership Elections 2018?

The Leadership Elections 2018 will take place from late January to Friday 9 March, giving all of our members a chance to nominate, campaign, and vote.
