All Student Meetings

Next meeting: Monday 2 February 2026, 6pm
Location: TBC
Ideas & motions deadline: TBC

Our All Student Meetings have a brand new format for 2025-26 and will take place regularly throughout the academic year

Every Queen Mary student has a say in how your Students' Union is run - and All Student Meetings are one of the ways this happens. These meetings are your chance to:

  • Make change happen - Submit your ideas as motions. These could then become Students' Union policy
  • Shape policy - Join our All Student Meetings to vote on the issues that matter to you
  • Hold the Executive Officers and Student Reps to account - ask any questions you have and hear from your elected reps about what they've been working on


    • What actually happens

    This of it as the biggest student discussion on campus. You get the chance to submit ideas, speak for or against proposals, debate topics from campus life to national student issues and vote on what your Students' Union should do next.

    Every decision made at the All Student Meeting becomes official Students' Union policy - so your vote really does matter.

    You can submit an idea to be discussed at the next All Student Meeting.


    Why should I go?

    Because no one knows student life better than....well you and other students! Whether you're passionate about a big campaign or just curious about how things work, your input helps decide the future direction of your Students' Union and University. By attending the meeting you'll get to vote on all the ideas and motions submitted and have your say on what we do next as your Students' Union.


    Who can take part?

    All Queen Mary students - that's undergrads, postgrads, part-timers, and distance learners too. With the meeting taking place online, you can join from wherever you are in the world, pyjamas optional.

    If you have any questions about the Annual Student Meeting please contact us via social media @QMSU, or send an email to su-representation@qmul.ac.uk.

    6. Should QMSU ban fossil fuel, mining and arms companies from SU-organised events and campaign for QMUL to adopt an ethical careers policy?
    7. Should QMSU release a clear statement on the crisis in Sudan and provide practical support, updates, and educational resources?

    Amendments process

    Sometimes there are ideas that would be perfect if they could just be tweaked a little bit. That's what the amendments process is for.

    If you want to submit an amendment to one of the ideas that will be debated at the All Student Meeting, just follow these steps:

    1. Find the idea you want to amend in the list above (click on 'Ideas & motions for debate').
    2. Download the relevant document.
    3. Use tracked changes to make the edits you want.
    4. Send your edited version to su-representation@qmul.ac.uk by 9am on Monday 17 November. Make sure to send it from your @qmul.ac.uk email account, as we can only accept amendments from verified students.
    5. Attend the meeting and introduce your amendment. Take part in the debates and answer questions from other students about your amendment.

    Top tip: If you're a writing wizard or a grammar pro, it can be tempting to submit an amendment that doesn't change the meaning of the original idea but makes the spelling, grammar or flow better. To keep things simple, we're unable to accept amendments that don't change the meaning of the original idea.
