Sabbatical Officers and Trustees

Your Students’ Union is run by five full time Sabbatical Positions, elected for one year. They are The President, Vice President Education, Representation and Welfare, Vice President Communications, Vice President Student Activities and Barts and The London President. They carry out the policies set by YOU through Union committees, General Meetings. Each officer has a separate job description, so have a read and see if you’re interested in one of the five positions in this years Sabbatical elections. The Governance of the Students’ Union has been reviewed in relation to the Charities Act 2006, and as a charity we require 5 Student Trustees that are elected by all students and at least one Trustee must be a member of Barts and the London. For more information about the SU governance, charity law and responsibilities of the Trustee’s see ‘How the Union is Run’ page on the About us section.
*Only students that have been a member of the Union for one whole academic year can run for the Sabbatical position.

Course Representatives

Course Rep elections run within the first few weeks of term in order for them to represent the views of students as soon as possible. All students can vote but only for the Course Rep from their year and department. If you run to become a Course Rep ensure that you know all that the role entails and that you can attend the Course Rep training dates.

This information can be found on the Course Rep page in the Student Voice section. Some departments have more than one Course Rep per year, to find out more about how your department is broken down please contact Anna Hiscocks (Vice President Education, Representation and Welfare)
*All Students apart from Single Semester Associate Students can run in this election.

NUS Delegates

As an NUS Delegate you will represent your Students’ Union at a National Level, by attending annual and regional conferences. The Annual Conference takes place in the spring, and is the main decision making body of the NUS. It determines the policy of the National Union of Students by debating motions submitted by constituent members, it also adopts policies, sets the campaigning agenda for the next year, and elects the National Executive Committee. We want to send our Students so that they can push the policies that Students at Queen Mary care about, therefore our delegates are elected by they whole student body.
*All Students apart from Single Semester Associate Students can run in this election.
