Your Voice & Representation

We are run for students by students which means you as our members are at the heart of our work and set our priorities and direction each academic year. To do this we work to ensure that all our students have a voice at UAL and have the systems to speak out and make change through their Students Union.

Academic Representation We ensure that every UAL student's academic interests are represented through course and school representatives.
Arts Awards The Arts’ Awards give students the opportunity to recognise the UAL staff and students who have made all the difference to their experience at UAL.
Arts SU Elections Arts Students' Union is an independent, democratic organisation (charity) led by students who are elected by our 22,000 student members. Every UAL student has the right to participate and vote in our elections to determine who represents them and what direction the organisation takes through the priorities of its elected leaders.
Democracy & Decision Making Having recently undergone a Democratic Review and held a referendum where students approved a new student representation system , we are currently in the process of implementing these new exciting structures to enhance your representation as a member of Arts SU.
Get In Touch Arts SU is a member-led organisation, that means our decisions and priorities are directed by our students; your voice and experiences always being at the forefront. Find out how you can get in touch and get involved here!
Your Ideas Want to make change? Got an Idea? We've got the tools to make it happen! The Ideas platform is the new interactive way to submit topics for discussion, propose policy, and suggest campaign ideas to improve student life here at Arts. Idea submissions will be taken to the new Student Forums and the Annual Members Meeting.
Your Officers Your Full-Time Student Representatives (Sabbatical Officers) are involved in work that covers all aspects of student life. Their job is to ensure that the work of Arts SU, and of the University, reflects the wishes of the student body.
