Each year we elect student leaders to various positions to lead the students' Union. Here are the dates and roles available in our 2025 leadership elections for you to get involved!
Please note that some roles are location specific.
Part-time officer (PTO) positions
Coventry University:
CU Coventry:
London:
Scarborough:
Part-time officers are the lead representatives for all students studying within their area - these are broken down into college, school or campus officers.
College and School Officers bring together the work of the Coventry site team and act as the primary spokesperson for all students studying within their college or school, across all years of study. They will engage with the Students’ Union, university and wider community to ensure that everyone is represented, and to help to shape their university experience.
The role of Campus Officers is similar to that of a college/school officer, however, this individual is the lead representative for all students studying at their campus location. They bring together the work of the campus executive team and act as the primary spokesperson for all students studying on their site, and will also liaise with the university, Students’ Union and wider community to ensure that everyone is represented and can shape their university experience.
Full-time officer (FTO) positions:
These roles represent students studying across all sites. They'll act as the voice for students and attend various meetings across the Students’ Union and university. Each role has its own remit to look after, such as student safety and welfare, or student voice and representation. Alongside this, they are also expected to act on their manifesto across the academic year. Full-time officers will also work closely with part-time officers throughout their time in office.
