How can I become a student representative?

Keep your eye out for our election cycles throughout the year! We elect our Course Reps and Student Councillors in September/October each year, and our Faculty/School Reps and Student Officers in March.

Interested in an open role or vacancy?

Outside of main election windows, if there is a vacancy you’d like to fill, please contact Mandy Mulholland, our Student Voice Manager (m.mulholland@ulster.ac.uk). Full training will be provided and we’d love to have you on board!
