Student Officer Elections 2025

 

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 and voting was open from 9am on the 10th until 5pm on the 13th of March.

This year, we had 22 candidates across the 5 positions. Turnout was 12.2% and 2,109 students voted in these elections and a total of 8,433 individual votes were cast. We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of our candidates and to everyone who voted in these elections!

 

The following candidates were elected:

Student President - Christina Schmid (re-elected)

Vice President for Activities - Hannah Cowie

Vice President for Communities - Jonathan Dorrat

Vice Preident for Education - Samuel Seymour
