Officer Elections
Our Officer Elections are the biggest student elections in Birmingham, with thousands voting each year.
It’s your chance to decide who will lead the Guild of Students for the next academic year!
From 12 January 2026, we’ll be on the lookout for people who want to apply to be one of our Officers and have the opportunity of a lifetime!
Being an Officer is no regular job; one minute you’ll be meeting with leaders at the University to create change on behalf of our students, then the next you’ll be planning large-scale events such as Welcome Week or Grad Ball.
It’s not only a chance to influence the direction of student life and student experience at Birmingham, but it’ll also give you the opportunity to drive change, as well as develop your leadership and problem-solving skills which will only strengthen your CV. This is a fantastic experience for your CV in leadership, problem solving and making change. If you apply to become a full time Officer, you’ll be paid a full-time salary for the year!
