You elect seven full-time officers every March in the Bristol SU Elections, and they are paid to work full-time to lead the SU for a year. Each officer represents a different area of the student body and helps to improve your experience as a University of Bristol Student!

Collective Priorities

Officers choose three main objectives to focus on for the year ahead, based on student priorities. Read the priorities for 2024/25 below:

Student Poverty

We’ll be focusing on transport, accommodation and student provisions to reduce costs for students and lobby externally for wider change.

Collective Wellbeing

From harm reduction to community building, we’ll be prioritising your physical and mental wellbeing to improve access to support. 

Academic Satisfaction

Working with the University to improve assessment feedback and academic accessibility, bringing more compassion to your academic experience. 

See how your Full-Time Officer Team are working with the University Executive Board to action their priorities as they secure key University commitments for the 2024/25 academic year.
