President and VP Elections 25/26🗳️

All Abertay students can stand in our annual election to become President or Vice-President, and every student can vote to decide who they'll be.

The President and Vice-President roles are full-time paid positions and involve taking a year out of your study (unless you are a 4th year and are set to graduate). 

One student can be successfully elected to each role.
