Each Standing Committee is made up of a number of student reps and this is a fantastic introduction to student politics and gives an insight into the running of the Union. You will:
• shape the direction of the Students’ Union.
• develop your skills; with in-house training for reps.
• be part of a community: with socials specifically for Student Council members
• get your hands on Student Council hoodies at the discounted rate of £15!
• get involved with trips to other Unions and attend conferences as a Union rep.
Being on a Committee also:
• looks great on your CV.
• gets you a certificate at the end of the year to certify your achievement
AND gives you an opportunity to take part in GlamEdge.
How much time will it take up?
Each Standing Committee will meet at times decided by its members, based on how much business there is to transact; however, they have to meet at least
five times a year. The Chair of each
Committee also has to attend
Student Council meetings.
There are currently a number of
positions available on Student
Council and Standing Committees

Committees section on the next
