Enthusiastic about Societies at Leicester?
Get involved and make an impact!
In 25/26 there are 2 student group councils chaired by officers and made up of student leaders. The main aim of the councils is to give a platform for the opinions and ideas of members of varying student groups. They meet weekly/by-weekly to discuss and make decisions on important topics relating to student groups and activities within the Students’ Union.
The councils are made up of students who apply and are interviewed to be part of their chosen council within a specific role.
Applications for the 25/26 councils are now open!
