Nominations:Part-time Reps

Nominations have now closed for: 9 x Union Reps (voluntary part-time positions)

Information on the candidates running for election will be uploaded shortly.

Student Representatives are here to make the Union a better place for everyone. It’s their job to find out what students want out of the Union and then help make those changes.

Union Reps are students that volunteer on a part-time basis to try to improve the experience of specific groups of students. Union Reps work closely with the Full Time Officer team to make positive changes for students who fall within their particular area of focus (i.e. volunteering, societies, media, academic, women students, disabled students, BME students, LGBT students and international students.) This opportunity will look great on your CV and give you loads to talk about in job interviews too!
