We’re also running elections for Society Committees and Student Networks!
If you’re passionate about a particular society or network, you can also run for a leadership position. Please note these are voluntary positions, also running from July 2025 to June 2026.
You need to be a member of the Student Group if you want to run in the committee. If you are an affiliate member or you want to adopt a dormant student group, please email su-activities@bbk.ac.uk – we are eager to support you in kickstarting an existing student group.
As a committee member you will receive training in organising and administering events and activities for your members as well as mentorship and guidance from the Students’ Union Activities Team.
