About SRC Elections
University life isn't just about lectures and labs. It's about shaping your experience, making your voice heard, and leaving your mark. Interested? Well you might want to run for a position on the Students' Representative Council (SRC).
Twice a year, the power is in your hands. Spring elections fill all positions, while Autumn lets you choose General, 1st Year, and Postgraduate reps, plus fill any vacant seats. Anyone can run (as long as you're a registered student who hasn't opted out). Academic positions require belonging to your School/College, and Undergraduate/Postgraduate roles need you to be enrolled at the time.
No experience needed! Just passion, ideas, and a desire to make your uni experience the best it can be. The SRC is your gateway to understanding how the University works, championing student issues, and being a voice for your peers. Plus, you'll meet incredible people, boost your CV, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Worried about costs? You might be interested in our election campaign grant funding. All candidates running in our Elections can apply for a grant towards their campaign cost. Find out more here.
Not up for running? No problem - every fully registered student gets to vote! Voting Days are your chance to choose who represents you and shapes your student experience. So, mark your calendars, get informed, and make your vote count!
