NTSU is led by a team of four full-time executive officers (aka "the exec").

The exec are current students who NTU students elect to lead their Students' Union and represent the 36,000+ people studying at NTU.

They attend high-level meetings to ensure your interests are considered when the University (and the Union) make decisions that affect you. They can influence everything from how your course is taught and assessed, to what personal development opportunities and support for things such as the cost of living you can access while you're at Trent.

That's what we mean when we say our officers represent NTU students.

They do lots of work (much of it invisible) to ensure you have an excellent student experience at NTU.

While you may not notice what they do from day to day, we guarantee your university experience would be far different if they didn't exist, and you would definitely miss them.

Our term two elections give you the chance to vote for who you would like to become an officer and represent you next year.

Officers elected in this year's election will take office in July 2026 and be in post for the 2026-27 academic year.

Now you understand a bit about what our elected reps do and why they're important, you can vote for people that represent you.
