Student Senate is the Students' Union's policy-making body, alongside the Annual General Meeting and Referenda. Any student can submit a motion for discussion and run to be a Student Senator. The Senate has authority to make and review policy, ensuring the SU’s work aligns with our students’ values. Policies passed by Student Senate are the framework within which the Union and its Elected Officers operate.

How does it work?
