Student Council is the highest student-led representational body at the Students’ Union.
Open to all of our student leaders, Student Council gives you the chance to hear what's happening behind the scenes, approve new ideas or policies, put forward suggestions and hold the Elected Officers to account. To make sure students are at the heart of Student Council, both a Chair and Deputy Chair is elected in the first meeting of every academic year. We normally run 5 or 6 meetings each year, with the Chair and Deputy Chair hosting them once in post

Student Council is open to all of our student leaders. This includes BAME Advocates, Buddy Volunteers, School Community Organisers, Society Committee Members, Student Reps & Student Staff).
