Student Officer Elections 2025

Could you be part of our next Elected Student Officer Team? 

The Students’ Union is led by five full-time, paid Elected Student Officers (Sabbatical Officers), elected each spring for the following academic year. These officers work as a team, each focusing on their specific remit to represent students and drive forward students’ interests at the University, local, and national levels.

These Officers are elected by students in March each year, and the nominations for those positions are open NOW!

Any student currently enrolled at the University of Aberdeen can nominate themselves. As the role is full-time and paid, students take a sabbatical year from their studies or start the role upon graduation. Nominate yourself below now, and we'll be in touch to let you know the next steps. No previous experience is necessary, and we'll provide a range of training and support along the way.
