Thinking of running in the SU Election?

Elections run every year for you to decide who represents you and your needs as a student at various levels within the university, locally, and nationally. Student Elections decide which of your fellow students will take up these positions for one year; these Officers will act on behalf of you.

Any student studying a University of Plymouth course, regardless of year, fee status, or mode of study, is a member of the students’ union and has a vote in the elections. Therefore you, as a student, are a voter!

Do you want to help shape the University and Students' Union to improve the student experience?

We will be running some virtual info sessions in the new year so you can learn about the process and have a chance to ask our team your questions.
