You are a Student Leader if you hold a committee position, if you are a representative or if you provide support to other students through a Students’ Union approved scheme.

As a Student Leader within the Students’ Union, you are not only in a position to influence change now, but benefit from the expertise available to ensure that positive change occurs for the students who study at Bath in the future.
