Democracy

As soon as you enrol at Cardiff University, you are automatically a member of Cardiff Students' Union. This means that you have the right to make crucial decisions on what the Union does and how it is run.

We Want Your Ideas

Your Students’ Union is your voice. Give us your ideas and we will shout about them.

Got an idea about how your Union could change? Want to improve your University? Or make a positive impact on the local community? Submit your ideas by email democracy@cardiff.ac.uk

Any student can submit their idea at any time of year. Your idea will go to Student Senate that meets five times per annum. It is the job of Student Senate to compile all the ideas and direct them to the correct forum where the idea will be debated and discussed.

If your idea is approved it will become Union policy. That means the leaders of your Union, the Sabbatical and Campaign Officers, will work to implement your idea with the help of other students.
