Student Leaders

Your Student Leaders, commonly known in Student Union's as Sabbatical Officers, are elected in the spring each year by UAL students and are paid to work full-time for a whole academic year from July until June. 

Your Officers meet regularly with key decision makers at all levels within the university and are members of important committees where they can effect change for UAL students.
