Next term the Cardiff Met SU Student Elections take place in early March to elect the team of Students’ Union Officers (President and Vice-President) who will lead the Union during the next academic year. Their role is to represent the interests and rights of all students to the Union, University and local community.
All students irrespective of degree program, mode of study, age, or nationality have the right to stand for election to any of the available positions and all students get to vote on which candidates they think are right for the job.
Last year saw a record number of students vote in Student Elections and this year we are looking to make the elections bigger than ever. There will be more opportunities to meet the candidates and engage with them over the campaigning week.
If you feel you have what it takes to be the next President or Vice-president of the Students’ Union be sure to put yourself forward to be in contention. For more information about the elections contact the Students’ Union President:
