SMSU is a charity run by students, for students!

Each year the student‑body elects two peers to represent them as sabbatical officers aka Presidents.

• Student Life President: Chair of the Board of Trustees, leads on social events, societies, fundraising, sport, welfare and campus facilities including accommodation.
• Education President: sits on senior academic committees and leads on academic representation, course reps and subject chairs.
• Vice‑Presidents: four elected Vice‑Presidents covering areas of Wellbeing, Inclusion, Postgraduate and International.
• Finance Officer: Leading day‑to‑day financial operations and ensuring robust, accurate and compliant financial management. From processing transactions and reconciling accounts, to preparing management accounts and supporting audits, you’ll play a central role in maintaining the Union’s financial integrity and supporting its strategic goals.
