Book NowNTSU is led by a team of six full-time executive officers (aka "the exec"). The exec are current students who NTU students elect to lead their Students' Union and represent the 40,000 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 apply to be an officer or to vote for who you would like to become one and represent you next year.
Officers elected in this year's election will take office in July 2024 and be in post for the 2024-25 academic year.Studying at NTU is great. But ask yourself this – is it perfect?
Probably not.
Maybe your accommodation costs are too high. Maybe you’d like more help preparing for your career before you graduate. Or maybe you’d like more opportunities to do interesting stuff in your spare time.
Whatever it is, there’s some aspect of your student life that could be improved. Something that’s causing you stress – something you’d like to change.
