About

What are the elections?

Your Students’ Union exists to represent you, as a student at Canterbury Christ Church University. We are student-led and democratic: every student has the chance to stand for a leadership position or vote in the elections and say how the Students’ Union is run.

Whether you’re studying with us next year or graduating from Christ Church you’ve got the opportunity to enter the race and be elected as one of the next full-time Presidents.

If you're still studying then that means taking a year away from your studies and working full-time at the Students' Union for the next academic year

These elected Presidents work to improve students’ experiences in a range of ways, from ensuring your course is well taught and organised, to supporting students’ wellbeing, working with clubs and societies, and campaigning on issues such as accessibility, inclusion and student safety. They lead the Students’ Union as full-time, paid student representatives, working for you.

Each year a new team is voted in to replace the four Presidents from the year before. Elections are happening in March, and you should consider running for a position! As a President, you will be paid £20,600 for your year in office and will gain a wide range of skills and experience that are hard to find in a standard graduate job. You will also benefit from extensive training and development, as well as support and guidance from the permanent staff team at the Students’ Union.

Whether you want to increase engagement in sports and societies, improve students’ academic experiences, or champion diversity, there is a position here for you. 

So why not put yourself forward?
