Student Executive

Meet Your Student Executive

The Students’ Union Executive, often referred to as ‘the Exec’, is made up of:

  • The President – a former student who takes up this full time, paid position for 1 year immediately after they graduate
  • 9 current students who occupy the various roles that allows the SU to run efficiently and effectively

All positions, including the President, are voted for by the whole student body each year. You decide who runs the SU and this year these 10 legends have been chosen to serve as your Exec!
