Following the Recent SU Elections, we are pleased to announce the elected student representation team for the 26/27 Academic Year !
What is the election and what roles are there?
Under the 1994 Education Act, Students’ Unions must ensure that its main post holders are elected by the student body via a cross campus secret ballot. As a Students’ Union whose membership is the student body, the main post holders are the elected student officers.
In total there was 28 Roles available, 4 being the full-time executive officers (SU President, Education VP, Welfare VP, Activities VP) and the rest being part-time officers which students carry out alongside their studies.
The SU Elections for 2026 were conducted a bit differently this year, with the cross-ballot voting being done via in person voting stations across all campuses (distanced learners were able to still vote online) as well as new election regulations which fall in line with sector best practice and were externally reviewed. In total, nearly 500 students cast over 3200 votes in the SU Elections. Following finalisation of outstanding appeals, we are pleased to announce the new SU Officers for 2026/27:
