The SU Election
The vote is closed for the 2026 student union election!
What is the election and who are the student union?
The election is an opportunity for students to choose who will represent them to City staff and leadership by voting for their five favourite candidates. These candidates will become members and take the roles of Student Union President and Deputy Presidents, getting paid to impact the university’s student experience.
What does the student union do?
They aim to provide independent support, academic support and social activities for students across all campuses. The elected student officers should advocate for change and encourage the university to implement changes in line with their manifestos and priorities during elections. They organise events such as the Freshers’ fair at the beginning of the year, and other events throughout the year, for instance, those that take place in the Pavilion.
Why should you vote?
