STUDENT COUNCIL
Student Council is the main decision-making body for TU Dublin Students’ Union. Student Councillors are elected from across all campuses and there are 101 council members in total. Student Council consists of:
- 8 Full-Time Officers (elected by students)
- 1 Postgraduate Officer (elected by postgraduate students)
- 9 Part-Time Officers (elected by Student Council)
- 83 Student Councillors (elected by Class Representatives of each campus).
Student Councillors attend approximately 7 meetings in an academic year together with 100 other council members to debate and discuss critical student issues and hold the Students’ Union accountable. In Student Council, you can make a true change – you can bring forward issues that you find important to student life for your Students’ Union to work on. You will also meet other students from different courses and campuses, have fun together at the after meetings and it is a great way to get involved in student life.
Councillors debate motions and policies and oversee the work of the Students’ Union. All elected officers report on their work at each Student Council meeting and answer questions on their activities and campaigns.
Become a Student Councillor!
Any student can become a Student Councillor and we hope you consider taking on the role! Student Councillors for the Academic Year 2023-2024 are elected in the first Class Rep Meetings of autumn 2023. You can nominate yourself via a nomination form that will be posted on this website. For a succesfull nomination, you need two proposers (other students of your campus) to support your nomination, and you need to attend the first Class Rep Meeting of your campus. There will be training provided for new Councillors before the first Council meeting.
