By-election 2025 - Important Information

bannerhidetext

Our annual Student By-election contains a number of part-time voluntary roles which allow you to represent students at different levels across the Union and University structures, and allow you to make a real difference to student life at RGU!

These roles include Vice President positions at the Students' Union, and where you play a key role in leading the SU and working with the university to improve the student experience, plus representative roles sitting on the University's Academic Council committee. It is a great opportunity to improve the lives of students at RGU but also to develop your own skills and enhance your CV.

All of these roles are voluntary and allow you to build your skills and influence matters at the SU and across the University while you study.

If you have any further questions, talk to our team! We'll be more than happy to help.

Nominations open on Thursday 30th October, if you are interested in submitting a nomination for any of these roles this can be done through the SU website during the nomination period.
